Use of Neem Fruit Powder
Neem Fruit Powder is a soil application product as organic fertilizer. About 300 Kg per Acre (750 Kg per Hectare) is adequate for field crops like Rice, Wheat. Vegetable and crops like Pepper (chilles), Cotton, Tobacco, Sugarcane need higher quantity per Acre (400- 500 Kg).
Neem Fruit Powder is either mixed with other chemical fertilizers like Urea, DAP and applied OR applied separately. It can also be mixed with compost, vermiculate, farm yard manure, poultry manure, bone meal, sea kelp or any such conventionally used organic substances used as soil feed for plants.
Neem Fruit Powder when applied as basal dose in soil at planting, sowing or within few days of planting acts as fertilizer for the season. For long duration crops another dose is recommended at flowering / fruiting stage.
