Employment strategy in professional agriculture

Neem oil is gaining more and more popularity in agriculture due to its natural properties and proven effectiveness in pest control. Extracted from the seeds of the Neem tree (Azadirachta indica), it represents an ecological and sustainable solution for farmers looking for alternatives to traditional chemical insecticides.

What is Neem Oil?

Neem oil contains an active ingredient called azadirachtin, which is known to disrupt the development cycle of numerous pests such as aphids, thrips, whiteflies, and mealybugs. A key aspect that makes it particularly suitable for organic farming is its ability to respect beneficial insects, such as bees, while remaining safe for the environment.

The main benefits of neem oil in agriculture

• Natural insecticide: Neem oil works by blocking the development of insects and disrupting their reproductive cycle.
• Long-lasting: Its prolonged action reduces the need for repeated treatments.
• Systemic action: It is absorbed by plants and distributed in tissues, also protecting new growths.
• Non-toxic to humans and animals: Safe for use on food plants, with no health risks.
• Environmentally friendly: Neem oil is biodegradable and leaves no toxic residue in the soil or water.

Employment strategy in professional agriculture

To maximize the effectiveness of neem oil in organic farming, our agronomist has developed a strategy that involves combining different products depending on the target insect. For example, for the control of aphids and mealybugs, a mixture consisting of Neemazal or Neemik Ten (depending on the product registered for the crop), Asset Five (Pyrethrum) and SW Hunter is recommended.

Here's how the technician describes the strategy:

"Usually, when I use these products, it is to fight aphids and mealybugs in organic farming. I make a mixture of Neemazal or Neemik Ten, depending on the crop where the product is registered, adding Asset Five (Pietro) and Hunter SW. This mixture is decisive. I tried in other situations to eliminate one of the products, but the result was not as effective."

A particularly interesting product is Hunter SW, a fertilizer that combines neem oil with fluid yeast extract and brown algae.

Case Study: The experience of the Manolio Giovanni Farm

A practical example of the success of Hunter SW comes from the farm of Manolio Giovanni, located in the province of Matera, specialized in the organic cultivation of citrus fruits.
