Neem granules are a granular form of neem cake, often fortified with other organic materials.
- Description and Benefits: Similar to neem khali, neem granules provide nutrients to the soil and act as a pest repellent. The granular form allows for slow and sustained release of nutrients and pesticidal properties over a longer period. They are particularly effective against soil insects like nematodes and root mealybugs.
- Guaranteed Nutrient Content (as per FCO): The nutrient content is similar to neem khali, but can vary depending on the formulation.
Application and Dosage:
- Soil Application: Apply 50-100 grams per square meter and work it into the top 10 cm of the soil.
- Potted Plants: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon or more into the pot during potting or on top of the soil.
- Recommended Crops: All crops, especially those susceptible to soil-borne pests.
- Storage and Handling: Store in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight.
