Bio-Solutions

Neem (Azadirachta indica) is regarded as the king of future pesticides. Neem is reported to control over 300 species of pests. Unlike synthetic compounds, Neem has a collection of over 20 active ingredients, which makes it difficult for any pest to develop resistance to all of them at the same time. It is harmless to the natural enemies like predators and parasites of pests and human beings.

We have harnessed all the goodness of neem in our product, Bio-Sol Aza. It is a totally natural neem-oil based product with Azadirachtin as the labelled active ingredient. Bio-Sol Aza is found to be effective against over 300 species of pests belonging to various orders of insects that infest very many cropping systems. It acts as an insect repellant, antifeedant, insect growth regulator and mating disruptor.

An effective supplement for synthetic pesticides, Bio-Sol Aza has been proved and recognized as an ideal molecule in the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programme the world over.

Bio-Sol Aza, the neem-oil-based pesticide contains Azadirachtin as an active ingredient.

Bio-Sol Aza also contains many other active compounds like Meliantriol, Salanin, Nimbin, and the like,of which Azadirachtin is the most effective insect growth regulator molecule. The Azadirachtin content in Bio-Sol Aza is not less than 300ppm.

Neem based products are photodegradable to varying degrees. When isolated, Azadirachtin is highly photolabile and thermolabile. But then, Bio-Sol Aza is an improved version of neem extract, which contains ingredients to protect Azadirachtin from photo and thermal degradation, making it highly bio-effective. This is achieved through hi-tech state-of the-art technology of limonoids solvent extraction. Bio-Sol Aza is also compatible with other chemical pesticides. So it can act independently as well as in combination with pesticides.

Bio-Sol Aza is a dark/light brown liquid with sticky consistency with a repulsive odour and gets emulsified into a whitish emulsion with water. It does not leave any sediments. Bio-Sol Aza reacts with HCl to give fatty acids. There is no reaction with alkali (Ammonia). Bio-Sol Aza also contains phenolic diterpenoids, protomeliacins, limonoids, (Y-hydroxy butenolide side chain, azadirone group, gedunin group and vilasinin group) C-secomeliacins like Salanin, Nimbin and C-seco-limonoids amounting to 125 chemical constituents.
