Abstract

Novel insecticide compositions prepared from neem seeds are disclosed. Two distinct neem derived insecticides obtained non-polar, hydrophobic solvent neem seed extracts which are substantially free of azadirachtin, by removing the hydrophobic solvent and cooling the resulting neem oil to separate a semi-solid neem wax fraction and a clarified neem oil fraction.
