For Vegetables,
Ornamentals or Row Crop - Mix 1 oz. neem or karanja oil with 1 to
1.3 gallons water, using 1/2 -2 tspn soap or other emulsifier to mix
thoroughly. If the water is cold, use a little warm water (DO NOT USE
HOT WATER - it can destroy the properties of the oils) to thoroughly emulsify
the oil and then add the remaining water and agitate well. Make sure
the oil is completely emulsified before spraying. If there is oil floating
on top add more soap or emulsifier as needed. Spray with full leaf coverage
for healthy plants. Repeat sprays every 7-10 days for 4 - 5 weeks if
needed.
Do not apply directly to water bodies. Neem Oil in large quantities can be toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates.
