Neem cake powder

Neem cake powder is a Residual Neem Seed Meal obtained as a residue while extracting Neem Oil from Neem Seeds by Cold Pressed Extraction Process. Neem Cake Powder is. used as a very good organic fertilizer as well as used in Pest and Insect Management in Organic Farming. Neem Cake powder is rich source of nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, cal- clum and sulphur. It's a natural product and is used for growth and a high yield of crops. The nutrient content and fertility of the soil increase when Neem powder is mixed with it. It ensures extended release of nutrients. The cake extractives also inhibit nitrification of nitrogenous fertilizers. When it organically decomposes, the Neem cakes release fatty acids, Ketones, alde- hydes, Amino acids, free sulphur and carbo- hydrates. These affect the nematode popula- tion because the metabolites are nema-toxic in nature. Plus, the by-products of the Neem Cake decomposing will increase the microbes in the soil parasitic activity on nematodes. The end result is a reduced population of nematodes.
