Using Neem & Karanja*

In Agriculture or in the Garden
For Vegetables, Ornamentals or Row Crop - Mix 1 oz. neem or karanja oil with 1 to 1.3 gallons water, using 1/2 -2 tspn soap or other emulsifier to mix thoroughly. If the water is cold, use a little warm water (DO NOT USE HOT WATER - it will destroy all the properties) to thoroughly emulsify the oil and then add the remaining water and agitate well. Make sure the oil is completely emulsified before spraying. If there is oil floating on top add more soap or emulsifier as needed. Spray with full leaf coverage for healthy plants. Repeat sprays every 7-10 days for 4 - 5 weeks if needed. Avoid spraying when honey bees are feeding. Neem will not harm adult honey bees or other beneficials but can harm bee larvae and juveniles in the hive.
Alternately, mix 1/2 oz. neem oil + 1/2 oz. karanja oil and use in the same way.

For Large Trees - Use 1 oz. neem or karanja oil with 3/4 gallon to 1 gallon water.
Alternately, mix 1/2 oz. neem oil + 1/2 oz. karanja oil and use in the same way.

Soap Nut Powder is an excellent emulsifier for neem and karanja oil. Use instead of soap. However, particles can clog fine spray nozzles.
Soak 10 teaspoons soap nut powder in 1/2 gallon water and leave for 24 hours. Shake really well, strain and use for hand washing dishes & clothes or in a spray bottle. Can also be used as a shampoo. Keep away from eyes.

Soap nut sachets are for use in the washing machine. DO NOT cut open as sediment can clog the machine.
