Those who love the future, especially farmers, need eco-friendly pesticides. This is what time proves. Agriculture is progressing in such a problematic manner. If we still do not love and cultivate nature, not only our future but also our health will be ruined. Organic farming was started as an alternative, but the threat to organic farming is the attack of pests.
These are the pesticides we apply to control pests. Time has shown that this is dangerous for both body and mind. It is in this context that neem oil should be considered. Spraying only neem oil and adding some powders can make an innovative pesticide that is not harmful to the body and nature. But in excess, it also destroys vegetables.
These plants should be treated with 10 ml of oil mixed with one litre of water. Five and ten ml of neem oil, two and a half grams of bar soap and one litre of water are required to make neem oil pesticide. First, the bar soap should be finely chopped in one litre of water. Add neem oil well. Then leave for eight hours and then apply to plants.

Add 15-20 times of water and spray on the plants.
