I read that neem oil should not be used on certain plants when the weather is hot. Does this apply to product?

Hi,We are in Hawaii and have used neem in all types of weather without any adverse effects on the plants.

I did not try it in hot conditions so I do not know the answer right now. i have actually some bugs on my plum trees and wanted to use it this weekend to treat my trees. We are scheduled for 100 deg weather here so you made me nervous about it! Where did you get a hold of that info? It might be correct....

You should be okay as long as you don't apply the product during the heat of the day.

That is a warning you see in all neem oil products. The same warning would apply to this product. In hot weather it is best to spray in early morning or the evening.

Reason why the Neem oil becomes gel or jelly or lumpy or wax like at lower temperatures because of the essential fatty acids in the oil. This is normal and it doesn't destroy the active ingredients. Neem oil last longer in lower temperatures. To liquefy it, leave the bottle in warm water (30c/85F) or under the running tap water(Warm). Once the oil liquified you can still use it. Note: Do not leave the bottle in hot water or heat it up, this will destroy the active ingredients in the neem oil.

Yes you can use this if you can bear the odor. Google on Neem oil and you will know the benefits

Martha, No. In fact you'll see the fastest results by spraying plants during the hottest temperature of the day and when the plants are as dry as they can be. Cheers, Jonathan Customer Care U-Spray Bugspray

I use it on my face. Realize neem products have a distinctive smell some people do not like it. I do not care about the smell because it works so well. I put it on at night so it does not matter as I am not going out.

It is organic for organic gardening. Make sure to spray it late afternoon and evening and look at the weather forcast:no rain the next 2-3 days.It says 100% neem oil and I believe it is .

It's a dormant season oil, you would not use it when things are leafed out and blooming. It is meant to smother overwintering eggs. Basically wax.

Any dish soap that says it dissolves grease or oil should work. I'm pretty sure that its role is primarily to keep the Neem in a uniform solution instead of sinking to the bottom. Perhaps to a lesser degree, it also help it stick to the plants any may even make the outer protective layer of the organisms it targets less resistant to the Neem, but that's strictly a guess.

Yes, it's ok for organic gardening. Try not to spray in the morning or when bees are active, as it will kill them, too. Late evenings most of the bees have gone back to the hive, many blossoms close up at night. Avoid spraying into blossoms. Oil does not mix with water alone, you must mix it with dish soap first, then add water. Amounts are on the label. 2 TBs = 1 oz. I use at least 1 part soap to 2 parts neem, often 1:1 neem and soap. Warm water to mix is ok, but not hot. Shake spray bottle often while using, to keep it mixed well.

The only pure neem oil I have tried is Moap, which is very concentrated and produces quite a few gallons when reconstituted. I don't believe the 70% produced as much. Both work fine, just have to be applied very regularly.

this work well in the heat during the summer.... u CAN apply this during spring as it NEVER burn the grass. Remember Feed and weed application do not work too well in the heat or above 80 degrees......

My only use of neem oil is for the prevention of insects on my bonsai. This is ONLY a temporary protection. It may be worth a try in your situation. It does give my bonsai protection for a short period of time. Good luck!

I don't' know why not. Some individuals are skin-sensitive to neem oil, so use sparingly or in a small area at first.

The oil gets hard at the top of the bottle. Neem oil does not stay liquid. I use a table knife to take it out and add it to warm water.

No, I believed not because since is pretty strong, and also the smell will affect you when you breed. You can buy the organic neem oil, Sell in Lowe's or Homedepot. I refer Homedepot product better. I bought the Bonide Infuse because I have lot of black spot in my plant, the neem oil will work too but just a little bit longer time than Bonide Infuse. Good luck to you

I have contacted the company to find out what the rest of the ingredients are. After all, if I am concerned about what I use in my garden, I should be entitled to know what is in it. This is the response I got: "Ingredients considered potentially hazardous are listed on the product label and on the MSDS. The unlisted ingredients are generally regarded as safe by the United States EPA. Unlisted ingredients are considered proprietary and are not generally disclosed. Complete formulation may be released directly to a doctor and/or medical authority when/if required. " To me this rings alarm bells! I ended up purchasing pure neem oil. You dilute it, just as you would this product concentrate. Neem oil is the only active ingredient here anyway. This way you do not have any undisclosed ingredients to deal with. I have obviously passed on purchasing this product.

I wouldn't think so. Neem oil destroys bugs that eat the leaves it's sprayed on. It's not a contact spray or deterrant. Also, it has an unpleasant smell. I would get something like Deep Woods for your purpose.
