| cont: 4) Neem is reported to work best under warm temperature conditions
(Schmutterer 1990).
5) Neem’s systemic properties suggest that applying it to transplants just
before planting to the field could be an effective and inexpensive way
to control certain pests. Similarly, applying neem with relatively large
amounts of water, in directed sprays over the rows of small seedlings,
could be a very efficient method of application. In one study, neem
applied through a drip irrigation system significantly reduced lettuce
aphids on romaine by over 50% (Palumbo et al. 2001). Availability and Sources:
