However now it clearly known that besides Azadirachtin, salannin, gedunin, azadirone, nimbin, nimbidine, nimbicidine, nimbinol, etc.. are also important liminoids which play an excellent synergistic effects on Insects/Pests.
Lot of Companies are manufacturing Neem Pesticides / Formulations based on Neem Oil and/or Azadirachtin or with different bases. The Azadirachtin used for fortifying is of various technical grade ranging from 8 - 45 % to get the desired strength of Azadirachtin in the final formulation ranging from 300 ppm Azadirachtin to 60000 ppm.
However it is now more important to see what are the other ingredients in the formulation besides Azadirachtin which increase /decreasee the shelf life of the formulation, efficacy, % of Natural ingredients,etc..
Those formulators who buy / work out a cheap formulation of Azadirachtin without complete technical knowledge are the ones who spoil the Neem Market and also make fools of the farmers who does not have Chromatograph machine !
