METHOD FOR PRODUCING EXTRACT OF MARGOSA (AZADIRACHTA INDICA) SEEDS

摘要

A new process has been developed for preparing high purity neem seed extract by adsorbing aqueous solutions of neem seed extract containing azadirachtin onto a macroporous polymeric adsorbent followed by desorption using a solvent. The resulting extract, optionally formulated, is a useful insecticide for the control of foliar pests.
