Neem Oil Product Disadvantages
Most Neem oil products bypass legislation by describing the products as ‘for home/garden’. As such, they do not have to come up with hard data.
Many producers, when asked for ‘hard data’ hide behind claims of commercial sensitivity. The main commercial advantage of such producers/suppliers is to be cheap and not to be contested in comparative trials.
NeemAzal-T/S, not being a Neem oil but an advanced formulation with pure active ingredient complex is often wrongly thrown into the Neem oil category due to lack of consumer understanding.
