Bioneem is a sought after neem tree extract with the active Azadirachtin. Bioneem is a contact insecticde for the adult, larval and nymph stages of your pests | Sucking, Chewing and Biting insects are effected by Bioneem through the ingestion of the active ingredient. It is very soft of beneficial insects and can be used succesfully in an IPM pest management approach with Real Metarhizium, Real Bacillus and Real Trichoderma. Bioneem does not have an instant knockdown effect, it normally takes 3 – 7 days for death to occur, however damage is reduced almost immediately due to the anti-feedent effect of the product. | Organically certified for EU and NOP farming standards.
Mode of Action
Bioneem has multiple modes of action including insect growth regulation, feeding deterrant and also as an oviposition deterant. Once injested, the azadirachtin disturbs a number of vital physiological processes including the insects ability to walk, jump, fly and copulate | Lepidoptera show extreme sensitivity to Azadirachtin. Coleoptera, Hemiptera and Homoptera are less sensitive to azadirachtin and require higher rates to acheive control.

Application

After first 2 sprays, monitor insect pressure and adjust spraying up to 14 day intervals, or as necessary.
Compatibility
Bioneem has been found to be compatible with most commonly used fungicides, insecticides and fertilisers. Physical compatibility should first be checked by using the current proportions of products in a small jar test. Growers should then test tank-mix combinations for phytotoxicity on a sample of crops prior to use.
