🌱 Neem Powder – Organic Pesticide & Soil Conditioner for Plants 

Neem Powder is nature’s ultimate gift to gardeners and farmers. Used traditionally in Indian agriculture, it is now recognized globally for its natural pest control and soil-nourishing properties. At GrowBasket, we provide premium-grade Neem Powder, processed from neem kernels to offer powerful protection and nutrition to your plants — the natural way.

🌿 What is Neem Powder?

Neem Powder is made by crushing dried neem seed kernels (neem cake) into a fine powder. It contains azadirachtin, a potent natural compound that acts as an insect repellent and growth regulator. It also contains vital nutrients like NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium) and micro-nutrients beneficial for plant growth.

🌼 Key Benefits of Neem Powder

✅ 1. Natural Pest Control

Neem powder repels over 200 species of harmful insects including aphids, whiteflies, mealybugs, and root nematodes.

✅ 2. Soil Conditioner

It enriches soil with organic matter and slows down nitrification, helping retain nitrogen in the soil longer.

✅ 3. Prevents Fungal & Root Diseases

Neem has strong antifungal and antibacterial properties that protect roots from rot, damping off, and other fungal infections.

✅ 4. Promotes Plant Immunity

It strengthens plants' resistance against environmental stress, diseases, and pests.

✅ 5. Safe for Edible Crops

Unlike chemical pesticides, neem powder is non-toxic and safe for use on vegetables, herbs, and fruits.

✅ 6. Eco-Friendly & Pet Safe

It doesn’t harm beneficial insects or soil microbes. Also safe to use around pets and children.

🛠 How to Use Neem Powder for Plants

🔸 As a Soil Amendment

Mix 100–150g of neem powder per plant into the top 2–3 inches of soil every 15–20 days.

🔸 As a Liquid Spray (Neem Decoction)

• Mix 2 tablespoons of neem powder in 1 liter of water.
• Leave it overnight, strain, and spray on plants.
• Use weekly to repel pests.
