Bonide Captain Jack's Neem Max, 8 oz Concentrated Cold Pressed Neem Oil, Multi-Purpose Insecticide, Fungicide, Miticide and Nematicide for Organic Gardening

This neem oil concentrate has become a staple in my gardening routine. I use it on my tomatoes, peppers, and ornamentals, and it’s helped keep pests at bay without harsh chemicals. I especially like that it tackles a wide range of issues insects, fungus, mites, all with one product. After a few applications, everything looked visibly healthier.

This was a tough year for my flowers inside.And out. I have used this for the first time and have been pleased with the results.

Does a nice job controlling my no-see-umz and aphids chomping my roses. Less toxic than so much else out there

Good product, not an immediate fix though. I had an aphid problem ( not quite an infestation, but definitely on its way to causing major damage to my seedlings) that was causing an ant problem because of the sticky residue that the aphids leave behind. I diluted the product as directed on the bottle. The first morning I sprayed my plants, underside and tops of leaves. By the next morning, I had more leaf damage from the aphids... Even though the product stated to wait a few days in between applications, I used again the next morning. Still had aphid residue/presence of bugs. So for the third application (4 days after initial application) I added a little bit of liquid castile soap, BOOM, the problem was gone by that evening. I washed off the mixture with my water hose and made sure that I wiped away any leftover bug residue in case the stronger mixture was too strong, to avoid leaf damage. Separate issue with a different colored aphid, the green ones, on my sugar snap peas. They were attacking all new growth. I used the instructions on bottle, but added a half teaspoon extra and the problem was gone the next day. I probably should have waited a couple of hours then washed away the mixture because all of the new growth was somewhat wilted/damaged. But this was completely my own wrong doing! Sugar snap pease are pretty delicate, especially the new growth. But they continued to grow and the damage was minimal. Good product, worked fast. Id recommend doing your own due diligence and just play around with measurements on the dilution of this product if it doesn't seem to work after the first couple of applications. Try it out on a very small section of plant that won't be too harmful if damage is done.

This neem oil is very easy to use. I had a few infestations on both indoor houseplants and on some outdoor plants. I had tried using soapy water sprays, but these seemed to only work very temporarily (and did not affect scaIe at all). So I bought a 32 ounce spray bottle, placed 2.5 teaspoons of this neem oil in the sprayer, added lukewarm water, shook the bottle, and sprayed the affected plants. I repeated this every 5 days or so over about 3 weeks. Although initially the parasites persisted, after 3 weeks they were completely gone and the dead scale was easily brushed off. I was expecting to need to do additional treatments, but so far, none of the infestations has returned. The neem oil isn't so much of an immediate killer as it is a multifaceted growth inhibitor. That is why you may not see immediate results. A handful of tips: - use lukewarm water to mix with the neem oil. It seems to mix easier. - shake the container of concentrate well to mix it prior to use. - shake your spray bottle periodically to keep the oil/water mixture as homogeneous as possible. - definitely be certain to spray the underside of leaves, as most of the insects will be situated there. - don't give up; repeat weekly or so and the infestation will stop - definitely wear gloves and eye protection, and be careful not to inhale any spray None of the plants (monstera, dracaenae, or orchids) has demonstrated any ill effects after 4 weeks. Obviously, I did not test this on any fungal infestation or other insets or arachnids, so your results may vary. I recommend this product. But please read the product information to be certain the neem oil is effective against the infesting organism.

Works great against worms just have to re apply after long rains

Neem _ My write up Usually Neem Must be mixed with other components because oil doesn’t stay mixed with water. Neem is the best organic product to use for pests under the ground as well as on plants above ground. I am using this Neem Max as a drench (under the ground) on my favorite plants because when used as a drench it is actually systemic. That means that the plant drinks in the Neem water resulting in its leaves and other plant parts not tasting good to pests. Most pests will starve instead of eating a leaf with Neem in it. This is very different from spraying Neem on plants. When you spray Neem on plants, it blocks the air holes on the pests’ bodies so that is why they expire. It only does this on contact. It does not work unless the Neem covers the pest completely. Neem is one of the very few things that is successful against root knot nematodes in soil! But it goes further than that. Last year I used it as a drench every month just on my favorite plants in one plant bed. Gophers got in that bed and voraciously ate up most of my plants but did not touch the plants that I had been treating with a Neem Drench. So, that’s pretty exciting stuff! I had read before this experience that caster oil deters gophers very well but I never read that Neem did that too!🤩 I Love that I don’t have to mix it with other products in order for the oil to stay suspended in the water. I should also mention that my struggling plants don’t do well with a full dose of 3-6TBS per gallon. So, what I do is give all plants that I am treating 1 Tablespoon Neem Max per gallon and do that once a week for 3 times or more. That way they don’t have to deal with too much Neem at once. Hope this helps you be successful with your plants and wishing you a Great Year of Gardening!🤩🎉🏆
