"Neem oil contains at least 100 biologically active compounds. Among them, the major constituents are triterpenes known as limonoids, the most important being azadirachtin .which appears to cause 90% of the effect on most pests. The compound has a melting point of 160°C and molecular weight of 720 g/mol. Other components present include meliantriol, nimbin, nimbidin, nimbinin, nimbolides, fatty acids (oleic, stearic, and palmitic), and salannin.

"Application of neem oil 3%, neem oil 2% + garlic extract 2.5%, NSKE 5%, Fish oil rosin soap 40g/lit were found effective in reducing the mite damage. Significant reduction of mite population and damage was also obtained after spraying with commercial formulations of azadirachtin 1% @ 5ml/lit. of water. But repeated application at regular interval is needed to achieve maximum control." [Aratchige, N.. (2014).
