Vepa Ginjala Kashayam (Neem Seed Extract)

About this preparation

Benefits from the Farmer Learning guide • Used for management of sucking pests, including their egg stage. • Used for management of stem-borer eggs. These are the uses described in the preparation guide. Results depend on the crop, growing conditions and correct use. Preparation guide: https://drive.google.com/file/d/19kL2qDbqjzhFCJNGz4flgN96ZgJ6_ltA/view Vepa Ginjala Kashayam is a neem-seed preparation. The supplied label identifies neem seeds (vepa ginjalu) as the ingredient. Neem-based inputs are used within integrated pest management; agricultural-extension guidance describes neem kernel extracts for several sucking and chewing pests. These uses provide background on neem preparations, rather than a guarantee that this product controls every pest or life stage. Identify the pest, inspect the crop and combine use with monitoring and other appropriate management measures. Label directions: dilute 5 ml of product in 1 litre of water (75 ml for 15 litres). Mix well and test on a small crop area first. Obtain crop- and pest-specific advice before repeating application. This is a labelled liquid concentrate: do not confuse its 5 ml/litre dose with extension recipes for preparing a 5% raw neem-kernel extract. Active-compound concentration is not stated on the label. Avoid spraying open flowers or actively foraging pollinators. Apply carefully to reduce drift and prevent entry into water bodies. Batch manufacturing/expiry dates and pack sizes are not completed on the supplied label; confirm these with the supplier.
