Neem remains a crucial part of contemporary farming, providing a variety of benefits as an insecticide

Uncovering the Agricultural Hidden Gem latest news:  In a time when farming relies extensively on man-made chemicals, the value of neem—a tree of great utility with a rich past—is underestimated. Neem remains a crucial part of contemporary farming, providing a variety of benefits as an insecticide, fertilizer, and shield against fungal and bacterial diseases. Let's find out how neem can be used in different farming practices:

1. Lower Chemical Dependency: Spraying neem mixed chemical pesticides can cut down on the use of synthetic pesticides by 25-30%. Spraying neem solutions in the early morning or evening hours is suggested. Applying neem cake powder to the land can provide multidimensional benefits, including shielding crops from nematodes and fungi.

2. Improved Soil Nutrients: This process allows for the easy incorporation of soil nutrients into the crops. Neem also interferes with the life cycle of pest insects, such as eggs, larvae, and other development stages. It also has a significant impact on pests such as beetles, caterpillars, and locusts, although it is less effective against sap-sucking insects. The combination of neem pulp with urea increases the potency of the fertilizer, safeguarding the soil from destructive diseases and pests.

3. Soil Disease Protection: To avoid root-knot disease, add 3-5 kg of neem powder to each acre of soil prior to sowing. For leaf-miner pests in peanuts, spray a 1.0% seed extract or a 2% neem oil spray 35-40 days after sowing. For controlling root gall disease formation, soak 50 grams of neem powder in 50 liters of water overnight and spray on the crops.

Neem's versatility in agriculture is undeniable, offering natural and eco-friendly solutions to modern farming challenges. It is high time we rediscovered and embraced the myriad benefits of this incredible tree.'
