Dissolve the 1/4 of the panela or bar of blue soap in water, I recommend that they put it to soak for 24 hours; once the soap is dissolved, we reserve it in a container to have it available, since this soapy liquid will be used as an adherent so that the bio-insecticide of neem stays longer in the plants that are fumigated .

Application mode: For its application it is recommended to use the domestic sprayer when we are going to fumigate the plants in the pots or in small gardens. In case there are many plants, such as open field crops, it is necessary to use the back sprays.

General information about the use of the Neem plant in the preparation of bio-insecticides and fertilizer

There are many producers in the field that is used bio-fertilizers and insecticides prepared with the leaves and seeds of the Neem plant, it is proven that the application on crops are very useful to control insects and certain phytopathogenic fungi.

The neem is also phagodeterrente: stops the growth of harmful insects. Plants treated with neem insecticides can be eaten by these insects and it even seems that the new seasoning makes them even more tasty. But when reaching a certain point of ingestion, the insect, still in its stage of voracious larva, begins to eat less and less, until it stops eating and dies, without reaching sexual maturity. The damage caused to the crop by the insects that reached to eat, can be considered an investment to reduce the plague in successive generations.

Another form of action of the insecticide is its attack on the hormonal system of the harmful insect. He lives his life quietly, it develops perfectly in all its stages and, apparently, nothing happens to it. The problems begin at the time of mating. It simply can not. Small physical malformations prevent it: a wing that did not grow in place, a leg longer or shorter, lack of sexual appetite, sterility. And since there is no mating, there are no offspring. And the population of harmful insects is decreasing in each generation. Source

I hope this information is very useful so that you can protect your plants from the attacks of pests and diseases.
