Classification and mode of action
: TRASCO Neemazin Dust is a potential
Neem based powder used as a urea coating
agent, Also has soil based systemic insecticidal
properties.
Product Potential:
Farmers can use Trasco Neemazin dust as
urea coating agent.
Farmers apply urea to their fields in
large quantities forgetting that this
applied urea is not fully utilized by
the plant. On an average about 30% of
the applied Nitrogen is lost due to leaching
in the fields due to non absorption.The
conversion rate of amide nitrogen to nitrate
nitrogen is so high that the plants cannot
assimilate the same quickly.
The application of Neemazin dust to
urea by coating the same at a proper rate
ensures that the urea is slowly converted
to nitrate nitrogen for complete uptake
by the plant.
The nitrifying bacterias action slows
down due to application of neem to urea.
The urea thus is slowly converted to available
nitrogen for the plants. Thus the fertilizer
use efficiency is brought upto 100%.
ECOLOGICAL EFFECTS
-
Effects
on Birds: No significant effects
on other wildlife were reported.
-
Effects
on Aquatic Organisms: The LC50
for rainbow trout exposed to azadirachtin
is 0.48 ppm It may cause significant
fish kill if large concentrations reach
waterways. It breaks down rapidly (in
50-100 hours) in water or light, and
is not likely to accumulate or cause
long-term effects
-
Effects
on Other Animals (Nontarget species):
Azadirachtin is relatively harmless
to spiders, butterflies, and insects
such as bees that pollinate crops and
trees, ladybugs that consume aphids,
and wasps that act as parasites on various
crop pests. This is because neem products
must be ingested to be effective. Thus,
insects that feed on plant tissue succumb,
while those that feed on nectar or other
insects rarely contact significant concentrations
of neem products. Another study found
that only after repeated spraying of
highly concentrated neem products onto
plants in flower were worker bees at
all affected. Under these extreme conditions,
the workers carried contaminated pollen
or nectar to the hives and fed it to
the brood. Small hives then showed insect-growth-regulating
effects; however, medium-sized and large
bee populations were unaffected. A study
of neem products and their effect on
mortality, growth and reproduction of
earthworms in soils was conducted. Positive
effects on weight and survival were
found in soil treated with ground neem
leaves and ground seed kernels under
greenhouse conditions. Reproduction
was slightly favored over a period of
13 weeks in a neem-enriched substrate
in rearing cages. Various neem products
were incorporated in the upper 10-cm
soil layer of tomato plots. None of
the materials had negative side effects
on seven species of earthworms. No significant
effects on other wildlife were reported.

: Accumulation in the environment
is not expected.
-
Breakdown
of Chemical in Surface Water :
It breaks down rapidly (in 100 hours)
in water or light, and will not cause
long-term effects.
-
Breakdown
of Chemical in Vegetation :
Azadirachtin is considered non-phytotoxic
when used as directed

Dosage and method of use:-
Take 1 kg Neemazin dust and mix thoroughly
with 50 Kg Urea coating the Urea till
a brownish color appears. You can store
the Urea for later application in Bags
or can apply the same as and when required,
but take precautions to store the same
in an area free of high moisture
