Neem is a member of the mahogany family, Meliaceae. Azadirachta indica is the botanical name for it today. It is a widely used medicinal herb in Indian home medicines. It is well-known for its natural ability to repel pests ranging from mosquitoes to termites, which is made possible in part by the presence of the chemical component Azadirachtin, a naturally occurring pest repellant. Neem oil is made by cold-pressing neem tree kernels in their finest form. The seeds and leaves generate the most oil, although any part of the plant can be used. After the oil from Neem kernels is extracted, the residue that is devoid of oil is known as Neem Cake. NPK (or nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium), as well as nortriterpenoids and isoprenoids, are found in this seed kernel and these nutrients are nematicidal in nature.
