Neem Cake Application : Fertilizer For Plants

SJS Neem cake contains natural micro-nutrients with NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorous & Potassium. It is a Bio-fertilizer that can be used for organic farms, agriculture, gardens and lawns. It can also used as a soil equalizer and leveller. According to research, Neem cakes make soil more fertile due to an ingredient that blocks soil bacteria from converting nitrogenous compounds into nitrogen gas (a process known as Nitrification).

Neem is also compatible with the microbes in the soil and improves the rhizospere micro flora which helps to ensure soil fertility. Neem cake also helps improve texture of the soil, the organic content and water holding capacity as well as  keeps the soil aerated for root development.

Contains nutrients like NPK ((nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium) as well as nortriterpenoids and isoprenoids.

Neem cakes are applied at the time of soil preparing for sowing. Soil should be plouged deep and the Neem Cake should be mixed thoroughly along with it to yield better results at the time of harvest. Neem cake not only works as an organic fertilizer, but also as an IPM (Integrated Pest Management) fertilizer when used with mixed crops.

Nematodes hidden in the soil destroy and reduce crop yield in the plantations. Neem Cake uses different mechanisms to help control nematodes and plant pathogens which are soil borne.

• Neem cakes used in the initial stages of a crop cycle provides excellent protection from nematodes and plant pathogens. The Neem Cakes contains nortriterpenoids and isoprenoids which are nematicidal in nature. 
• Neem cakes release fatty acids, Ketones, aldehydes, Amino acids, free sulphur and carbohydrates on decomposition. These affect the nematode population because the metabolites are nema-toxic in nature. Increases the microbes in the soil parasitic activity on nematodes resulting in reduction of nematodes.
• Neem cakes also acts as a pest control agent for insects and pests due to components such as salannin, nimbin, azadirachtin and azadiradione providing following characteristics to the soil : antifeedant, attractant  repellent, insecticide, nematicide, growth disruptor, antimicrobial.
