Azadirachtin

Type: Insecticide & Insect Growth Regulator

Mode of Action: Multiple: Anti Feedant, Growth Disruptor, Repellent, Reproduction Inhibitor

Common Product Names: Azatrol & Azaguard

What is it?

Azadirachtin is a naturally occurring compound extracted from neem seeds. Azadirachtin is a contact insecticide and also acts as an insect growth regulator. It is selective, mainly affecting insects and sparing most beneficial insects and mammals. It is part of a broader class of chemicals known as limonoids. Its natural origin and biodegradability make it a popular choice among organic farmers and those practicing integrated pest management (IPM). Its primary areas of use include organic farming and integrated pest management in agriculture, horticulture, and greenhouse crops. The effects of Azadirachtin can vary depending on the target pest and environmental conditions. Generally, noticeable results can be seen within a few days to a week after application. It is not a rapid knockdown agent but provides sustained pest control over time.

How does it work?

Azadirachtin disrupts various physiological and biological processes in insects. When ingested or contacted by insects, it interferes with their hormonal systems, leading to:

  • Inhibition of molting and development stages.
  • Disruption of feeding behaviors.
  • Repulsion from treated areas.
  • Sterility and decreased egg-laying.

Benefits

  • Eco-friendly: Derived from natural sources, biodegradable, and less harmful to non-target organisms.
  • Broad-spectrum: Effective against a wide range of insect pests, including aphids, whiteflies, caterpillars, and beetles.
  • Multiple Modes of Action: Reduces the likelihood of resistance development in insect populations.
  • Minimal Residual Impact: Typically degrades within a few days to a week, leaving minimal residue.
  • Suitable for Organic Farming: Approved for use in organic agriculture.
