Hi everyone,
I got my information from the 2010 catolog, I left the website so anyone could look the product up. The catolog says that it is safe for vegetables,that the oil repellent in some bugs & suppresses feeding instincts in others. I have not used it before, I wanted to hear from those who have used it. I do not trust big company, to some organics is a catchphrase like gormet is in foodstores. Thank you for your help.

I have used neem oil products for years on food crops, with good effect, for controlling tough insects. Some of the products are not labeled for food plants because of the expense required for that label. As long as there is no warning on the product I will continue to use neem oil as a natural control for insects.
Stay natural,
David

Comment by Terri Pucci on December 17, 2009 at 9:36pm - BioNem-WP and BioSafe are preferably used before planting but can also be applied during crop growth stages. They are very effective in controlling and reducing the nematode populations and root infestations (galling) prevalent in major vegetable crops such as tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, aubergines, and major herbs. They are also suitable for perennials such as peaches and ornamentals.

- The websites doesn't say... can the BioNeem insecticide be used on vegetables and other foods people/animals eat? It only mentions flowers, trees, bushes.

Hi everyone,
Anyone know about a natural insecticide from seeds of the Neem tree. Brand name BioNeem, it kills many common insect pests, but will not harm honeybees, earthworms, pets, or livestock.
I found the product in www.vermontbean.com
I would like to know if anyone has used this product.
