Description
Neem powder plays a vital role in plant care and soil health, offering several benefits for both pest management and plant nutrition. Here’s how neem powder benefits plants:
1. Natural Pest Control
- Neem powder contains azadirachtin, a natural compound that repels and disrupts the lifecycle of pests like aphids, whiteflies, mealybugs, nematodes, and soil-borne pests.
- It acts as an insecticide by deterring feeding, interfering with reproduction, and inhibiting pest development.
2. Soil Fertility Enhancer
- Neem powder is a natural fertilizer that enriches the soil with organic nutrients.
- It helps in improving soil texture and enhances the water-holding capacity of the soil.
3. Fungicidal Properties
- Neem has antifungal properties that help combat soil-borne diseases like root rot, damping-off, and powdery mildew.
4. Nematicide
- Neem powder is effective against nematodes (microscopic worms) that damage plant roots, ensuring healthier plant growth.
5. Improves Compost Quality
- Adding neem powder to compost reduces foul odors and speeds up decomposition. It also adds nutrients to the final compost.
6. Promotes Plant Growth
- By reducing pest damage and improving soil health, neem powder indirectly promotes healthier and faster plant growth.
