Agriculture sector serves as the biggest market for our products. Apparently, our venture serves both the backward linkages and forward linkages as a part of value chain created.
1. Neem as Fertilizer
The material left after oil is squeezed out from seeds and is popularly known as the seed cake; It acts as a bio fertilizer and helps in providing the required nutrients to plants. It is widely used to ensure a high yield of crops. Neem is used as a fertilizer both for food crops and cash crops, particularly rice and sugarcane crop
Benefits
Neem seed cake performs the dual function of both fertilizer and pesticide, acts as a soil enricher, reduces the growth of soil pest and bacteria, provides macro nutrients essential for all plant growth, helps to increase the yield of plants in the long run, bio degradable and Eco friendly and excellent soil conditioner
2. Neem as Organic Manure
Manure is any animal or plant material used to fertilize land especially animal excreta for improving the soil fertility and thus promoting plant growth. Neem manure is gaining popularity because it is environmental friendly and also the compounds found in it help to increase the nitrogen and phosphorous content in the soil. It is rich in sulphur, potassium, calcium, nitrogen, etc. Neem cake is used to manufacture high quality organic or natural manure, which does not have any aftermaths on plants, soil and other living organisms
Benefits
It is bio degradable and eco friendly, nourishes the soil and plants by providing all the macro and micro-nutrients, helps to eliminate bacteria responsible for denitrifying the soil, ideal for cash crops and food crops, increases the yield of crops, helps to reduce the usage of fertilizer, thus reducing the cost of growing plants, antifeedant properties that help to reduce the number and growth of insects and pests.
3. Neem as Urea Coating Agent
Neem and its parts are being used to manufacture urea coating agent to improve and maintain the fertility of soil. The fertility of the soil can be measured by the amount of Nitrogen, Potassium and Phosphorous it has; there are certain bacteria found in soil, which denitrify it. Use of neem urea coating agent helps to retard the activity and growth of the bacteria responsible for denitrification. It prevents the loss of urea in the soil. It can also be used to control a large number of pests such as caterpillars, beetles, leafhoppers, borer, mites etc. Government of India has made it mandatory for 100 indigenous urea production to be Neem Coated.
Benefits
Neem Urea Coatings are excellent soil conditioners, natural or bio pesticides, environmental friendly, nontoxic, reduces urea consumption, convenient and easy to apply, high soil fertility and increases the yield of crops.
4. Neem as Soil Conditioner
Neem seed granules or powdered seeds are used to manufacture the soil conditioner. It can be applied during sowing of plants or can be sprinkled and raked into the soil. The process of sprinkling should be followed by proper irrigation so that the product reaches the roots. It is a natural soil conditioner that helps improve the quality of soil, thereby enhancing the growth of plants and fruits.
Benefits
Neem is a natural soil conditioner that helps improve the quality of soil, thereby enhancing the growth of plants and fruits. It not only helps the plants grow, but also prevents them from being destroyed by certain pests and insects. Organic soil conditioner is gaining popularity in agricultural industry. Because they are organic, they have no harmful effects and are cheaper than the other soil conditioners.
5. Neem as Fumigant
Neem tree has been used against household, storage pests and crop pests. Neem pest fumigant is available in gaseous state and is used as a pesticide and disinfectant. It is being used by a large number of countries on a commercial basis by farmers and agriculturists. This 100% natural product is being exported as it is nontoxic and does not affect the environment. It assumes more importance in developing countries where millions of deaths are reported every year due to the accidental intake of synthetic pest fumigants. This natural fumigant not only kills pests but also affects them negatively by acting as feeding and ovi position deterrence, mating disruption, inhibition of growth etc.
Benefits
Neem fumigants are ecofriendly, do not harm other microorganisms, are nontoxic, and do not contaminate terrestrial and aquatic environment. Pests do not develop resistance to it, there are no negative after effects, are relatively less expensive, are pest repellent and nourish the soil and function as pest reproduction controller.
6. Neem as pesticide
Neem pesticides play a vital role in pest management and hence have been widely used in agriculture. There has been an evident shift all over the world from synthetic pesticides to nonsynthetic ones; this is largely because of the wide spread awareness of the side effects of these synthetic pesticides not only on plants and soil but also on other living organisms.
