Neem Oil may be applied using any powered or manual pesticide application equipment including sprayers, electrostatic applicators and foggers. Follow the original manufacturer’s instructions when using these types of equipment. When used as a foliar application, spray Neem Oil using a suitable high volume sprayer with adequate spray pressure to ensure complete and thorough coverage of the plant surfaces. Ensure that both the top and bottom of leaves are wetted. For optimum results, repeat the applications at intervals of 7‐10 days or 1‐2
weeks. Use higher rates and increase spray frequency when pest pressure is high.
Spray early in the morning or in the late afternoon/evening for best results. Repeat application if it rains within four hours of spraying.

Do not apply Neem Oil in direct sunlight. Always spot test plants first for sensitivity to sprays.

Neem Oil may solidify at cooler temperatures. Store above 65oF and below 95oF. If oil thickens, place bottle in hot water.
