Protects plant roots from nematodes, soil grubs, and termites — largely due to its residual limonoid content — while acting as a natural pesticidal fertilizer widely used on paddy, cotton, and sugarcane crops.
Has shown increased dry-matter growth in forest trees such as teak (Tectona grandis) and gum arabic (Acacia nilotica).
Helps reduce soil alkalinity by producing organic acids as it decomposes, while staying fully compatible with soil microbes and rhizosphere microflora.
Improves the soil's organic matter content, texture, water-holding capacity, and aeration — supporting stronger root development.
Effective in natural pest and insect management, with bitter compounds that act as antifeedant, attractant, repellent, insecticide, nematicide, growth disruptor, and antimicrobial agent.
Contains salannin, nimbin, azadirachtin, meliantriol, and azadiradione — with azadirachtin and meliantriol acting as locust antifeedants, and salannin as an antifeedant against houseflies.
