Azadirachtin is formed via an elaborate biosynthetic pathway, but is believed that the steroid tirucallol is the precursor to the neem triterpenoid secondary metabolites. Tirucallol is formed from two units of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) to form a C 30 triterpene, but then loses three methyl groups to become a C 27 steroid.
Formulations that include neem oil have found wide usage as a biopesticide for horticulturists [4] and for organic farming, as it repels a wide variety of insect pests including mealy bugs, beet armyworms, aphids, cabbage worms, thrips, whiteflies, mites, fungus gnats, beetles, moth larvae, mushroom flies, leaf miners, caterpillars, locusts, nematodes and Japanese beetles.

This molecule can also be found in neem oil at 0.12%. [3] Among the metabolites present in neem, nimbin is the least present chemical compound. [15] Nimbin biosynthesis is not influenced by environmental conditions [17] (temperature, rainfall, humidity…) because neem trees from the same agro-climatic zone can have very different nimbin ...
White oil is an insecticide spray used for controlling a wide range of insect pests in the garden. The spray works by blocking the breathing pores of insects, causing suffocation and death. The spray works by blocking the breathing pores of insects, causing suffocation and death.
