Katyayani Dr. Neem Oil Insecticide 5000 PPM (0.5% EC)
Professional-Grade Organic Pest Control for Resistant Insects & Commercial Crops
Katyayani Dr. Neem 5000 PPM is a high-potency bio-insecticide containing 0.5% Azadirachtin. It is significantly stronger than standard neem oils (1500 PPM), making it capable of handling tough, resistant pests that chemical sprays leave behind.
Designed for serious farmers: It works as a powerful Insect Growth Regulator (IGR), stopping pests from molting and reproducing, while acting as an instant "Anti-Feedant" to save your crop from damage.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Dr. Neem 5000 uses a triple-action biological mechanism:
- Anti-Feedant: The moment a pest tastes a treated leaf, its taste receptors are blocked. It stops eating instantly to avoid the bitterness.
- Molting Inhibition (IGR): Azadirachtin mimics the pest's hormones. It blocks "Ecdysone," meaning the larvae cannot shed their skin to grow, leading to death.
- Reproductive Failure: It sterilizes adult female pests, reducing the number of eggs laid and ensuring that laid eggs do not hatch.
Result: The pest population crashes naturally within a few days.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop Type | Target Pest(s) |

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Shake well before use. Pre-mix with a little water to form a white emulsion before adding to the tank.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Application | Dose (ml / Litre) | Dose (per 15L Tank) | Dose (per Acre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Preventive Spray | 3.0 - 4.0 ml | 45 - 60 ml | 600 - 800 ml | 0 Days |
| Curative (High Pest) | 5.0 ml | 75 ml | 1000 ml | 0 Days |
| Tea Plantations | 1.0 - 2.0 ml | 15 - 30 ml | 500 ml / Ha | 0 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: You can harvest immediately after spraying, as it leaves no harmful residues.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Spray in the late evening. Azadirachtin degrades in strong sunlight (UV). Evening spraying ensures it works overnight.
- Water Quality: Avoid alkaline water (pH > 7). If your water is hard, add a little citric acid/lemon to buffer the pH for better results.
- Coverage: Use a "Hollow Cone" nozzle. Spray the underside of leaves where pests hide to get maximum contact.
- Frequency: For prevention, spray every 10-15 days. For active infestations, spray every 5-7 days.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How is this better than 1500 PPM?
5000 PPM is more than 3x stronger. It provides a lethal dose for larger larvae and resistant pests that 1500 PPM might only repel.
2. Will it kill insects instantly?
No, it is a biological IGR. Pests stop feeding instantly (saving your crop), but they will die slowly over 3-5 days as they fail to molt. Be patient.
3. Can I mix it with chemical pesticides?
Yes, it is highly recommended. Adding neem oil to chemical sprays acts as a "Synergist," helping the chemical work better and preventing resistance.
4. Does it control Nematodes?
Yes. When used as a soil drench, it inhibits nematode eggs from hatching and reduces root galling.
5. Is it safe for bees?
Yes. It is safe for pollinators if sprayed when they are not foraging (late evening). Once dry, it does not harm them.
