It is native to the Indian subcontinent and to parts of Southeast Asia , but is naturalized and grown around the world in tropical and subtropical areas.
Azadirachta is a genus of two species of trees in the mahogany family Meliaceae. [2] Numerous species have been proposed for the genus but only two are currently recognized, Azadirachta excelsa and the economically important tree Azadirachta indica , the neem tree, from which neem oil is extracted.
Many more compounds, related to azadirachtin, are present in the seeds as well as in the leaves and the bark of the neem tree which also show strong biological activities among various pest insects [4] [5] Effects of these preparations on beneficial arthropods are generally considered to be minimal [citation needed]. Some laboratory and field ...

Meliaceae, the mahogany family, is a flowering plant family of mostly trees and shrubs (and a few herbaceous plants, mangroves) in the order Sapindales.. They are characterised by alternate, usually pinnate leaves without stipules, and by syncarpous, [2] apparently bisexual (but actually mostly cryptically unisexual) flowers borne in panicles, cymes, spikes or clusters.
The leaves can be fed to cattle to improve milk yields and improve farm incomes. [24] The taste of the leaves is not as bitter as that of the leaves of neem (Azadirachta indica). In Australia, particularly the suburbs of Melbourne, the tree is often used in nature strip plantings by local councils. The councils plant such trees for amenity ...
