Required Ingredients & Raw Material Proportions

Exact Vedic and botanical specifications required to prepare one standard batch of Neemastra Botanical Bio-Insecticide.

Ingredient NameHindi NameStandard QuantityFunctional Agricultural Role

Pro-Farmer Tip: Always use dung and urine from indigenous humped cattle (Bos indicus) such as Gir, Sahiwal, Red Sindhi, Tharparkar, or Kankrej. Indigenous cow urine contains significantly higher concentrations of auric salts, carbolic acid, and active nitrogen compounds compared to exotic Holstein-Friesian or Jersey cattle.

Step-by-Step Preparation Protocol

Follow this chronologically verified method to ensure maximum bio-efficacy and microbial viability.

1
Step 1

Take 5 kg of fresh neem leaves, crush them in a mortar-pestle or stone grinder into a fine pulp.

2
Step 2

In a 100-liter plastic drum, add 100 liters of clean water, 5 liters of cow urine, and 1 kg fresh cow dung.

Step 4

Cover with a mesh cloth or jute sack and allow to ferment in shade for 48 hours, stirring twice daily.

5
Step 5

After 48 hours, filter the liquid through a fine muslin cloth or 100-mesh sieve to remove leaf particles.

6
Step 6

Neemastra is ready for direct foliar spraying without additional chemical stickers.

Field Application Schedule

Recommended timing, dilution ratios, and irrigation synchrony.

Preventive Spray: Spray at 15 to 20 days after crop emergence to prevent pest buildup.
Curative Spray: Spray twice at 7-day intervals upon first sighting of aphids, whiteflies, or thrips.
Spray in late afternoon (after 4:00 PM) when beneficial pollinators have returned to their hives.

Scientific Mode of Action

ICAR & bio-chemical mechanism explaining field results.

Azadirachtin acts as an insect antifeedant, repellent, and ecdysone steroid hormone blocker. Sucking pests stop feeding within hours, cannot molt to the next nymphal instar, and starve naturally without harming non-target beneficial predators like ladybird beetles.
Agronomic & Economic Benefits
Zero chemical residues: 100% safe for export vegetables, fruits, and organic crops.
Safe for beneficial natural predators (Ladybird beetles, Chrysoperla, Syrphid flies, Spiders).
Cost per acre is under ₹50 using wild neem trees growing near field borders.

Answers to real questions asked by natural farmers during preparation and storage.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

No. Neemastra is designed specifically for soft-bodied sap-sucking pests (aphids, jassids, whiteflies, mites) and tiny neonate caterpillars. For aggressive, hard-bodied pests like American bollworm or fruit borers, Brahmastra or Agniastra must be used.
