Neem cakes are derived from Seeds of Neem Kernel. Neem is believed to be the tree of medicine which has noted for its drought resistance. Neem products are believed by Siddha and Ayurvedic practitioners. Neem cakes are prepared from Cold Pressing Technology. In this process, oil is squeezed out from the neem kernel under cold process and the remaining biomass is called Neem cake.

Usage of neem cake have shown an increase in the dry matter in Tectona grandis (Teak), Acacia nilotica (Gum Arabic), and other forest trees. Neem cake also reduce alkalinity in soil, as it produces organic acids on decomposition. Being totally natural, it is compatible with soil microbes and rhizosphere microflora and hence ensures fertility of the soil. Neem cake improves the organic matter content of the soil, helping improve soil texture, water holding capacity, and soil aeration for better root development. |
