INDEX
Agriculture had to face the destructive activity of numerous pests like fungi, weeds, insects, etc. from time immemorial; leading to radical yield losses . Though with the advent of chemical pesticides this crisis to a great extent became resolved but reliance on synthetic chemicals to pest control has also given rise to a number of problems such as pesticide resistance, pest resurgance, residual toxicity, adverse effect on natural enimies of pests, direct toxicity to ploughmen .

Introduction
That’s why botanicals like neem has now become necessary to find out a sustainable alternative means for pest control which can minimize indiscriminate usage of chemical pesticides due to its endowed multifarious features of pesticidal activities like repellancy, antifeedance, IGR, ovicidal, antifungal and so on .
CONTD. -
In modern era usage of neem based botanical pesticides is not found only in organic farming but also in intensive agriculture with GAPs(Good Agrl. Practices) and is gaining momentum in IPM.

Use of dried leaves between folds of cloths to ward off stored grain pests is an age-old practice .
By 1960, it was established from IARI that the bioactive principles of Neem were exudable in organic solvents .
In 1962, IARI’s entomologists reported a breakthrough observation on its insecticidal application . Antifeedance & repellancy effect firstly reported on Desert Locust (Schistocerca gregaria) and even the experimental success with neem on given locust drew the global attention & aroused keen interest especially due to their coincidence with
History of R&D on Botanical Pesticide from Neem [Margosa(Azadirachta indica : Meliaceae]
the publication of the “Silent Spring” by American Biologist Mrs. Rachel Carson .
Besides locust it was further reported on BPH (Nilaparvata lugens) & RLF(Cnaphalocrosis medinalis) .
Later on, the effects due to IGR type of activity were reported on DBM (Plutella maculipennis syn. P. xylostella), Bollworms(H. armigera , P. gossypiella), Epilachna varivestis respectively .
CONTD. -
Recently ovipositional deterance & ovicidal effect of neem on pests have been reported .
It has also been recently reported that more than 500 insect-pest specieses become susceptible to neem .

The observation of IARI’s scientists on the activity of neem received initially a lukewarm response from global community.
While validation trials carried out by different national & international groups yielded inconsistant result; confirmation of the activity by group of Prof. Schmutterer, H. in Germany sparked the interest of global community on given versatile tree .
Global Recognition
Two IARI research bulletines “Neem in Agriculture” in year of 1983 & 1993 respectively; consolidated the progress made world over . Neem Newsletter initiated by IARI in 1984 and published quaterly sustained the involvement of global community .
The tree’s global recognition was borne out by “Neem: A Tree for Solving Global Problems”, a NAS(National Academy of Science, US) publication by 1992 .
CONTD. -
Subsequently two another publication “Neem Research & Development” (1993) & “The Neem Tree” (1995) projected the potential of the plant .
Following these large number of pest control products became prevalent in international markets. Several of them are now registered in US and other countries for diverse applications in agriculture .
CONTD. -
Nearly 100 protolimonoids, limnoids cum tetranortriterpenoids, pentanor-triterpenoids, hexanortriterpenoids, and some non-terpenoids have been isolated from various plantparts . However azadirachtin belonging to limonoids has been found to be most important bioactive component .All plantparts are useful but NSKs are most effective .
Active principles & Applicable Plantparts of Neem
Ecofriendly due to be biodegradable & non-pollutable because of no residual toxicity and quitely safety for natural enemies .
Economical because of abundant availability of the plant & due to be easier cheaper technique for isolation of active ingrediants .
More Effective – it can affect adversely on eggs where chemical pesticides become failure .
MHI – It has MHI for only three days .
How NEEM Based Botanical Pesticide is far Better than Chemical Pesticides?
No pesticide resistance – neem oil contains multiple active ingredient in difficult concentration which act simultaneously; thus make the resistance development, virtually impossible for pests .
