Namaskar friends! i'm your host, Brahmdeo.
Friends! You all know how dangerous it is
to use chemical pesticides.
It not only pollutes our environment, but
also cause a serious bad effect
on our health and
may also cause Cancer like dangerous disease.
Still, there is no control over
commercial farming.
But, whoever among from us, either
personally or by hobby, do gardening at home
on the terrace, outdoor, or indoor
will never like to use over their plants,
these dangerous chemical pesticides.
Then what is the substitute for this?
Is there any herbal solution using which
most of the disease of the plants can be controlled?
So friends! The answer is "yes".
"Neem-oil", i.e. Neem-oil is such a herbal solution
that if used in a proper way over the
plants, most of their disease can be
controlled effectively.
So, next we'll see that how
the neem-oil can be used  effectively
over the plants.
For this, you should purchase pure neem oil
from the market.
You see, this 50 ml bottle of neem oil
is in my hand which costs about rs. 50.00 only
You can get this from either a grocery store
or from an ayurvedic medical store.
We're well familiar with its medicinal velues.
Our ancestors have already been using it
for centuries over many kind of human diseases.
But its use is as useful for the plants
as it is for the human.
If it is sprayed over the plants at regular
intervals for some days then it can save plants
from at least 200 types of pest infestation
Even If the plant is already affected, a regular
use of neem-oil will cure it
and the most amazing thing of using it
is that there is no any harmful effect on
our ecosystem.
So friends! let us see how the spray of this
highly safe herbal medicine is prepared.
Neem oil is a very sticky oil which
cannot be filled directly in a sprayer to spray
over the plants.
If it is 100 percent pure, then at room temperature too
it is very sticky.
In winter, it freezes in the bottle.
The very first thing you should do is to take
some hot water and place into it
the bottle containing neem oil
only for two minutes....
Meanwhile open its lid
so that it doesn't burst out due to the pressure
caused by heating.
Due to the heat, neem-oil gets melted
and then can easily flow.
In the next step, the things that we require
are, a spray bottle,......
The second is dish-washer liquid soap,
or a handwash liquid soap or any
mild soap can be taken.
And the third is, the medium, i.e. the thing
in which we prepare the solution
So, as a medium we've to take luke warm water
i.e., lightly heated water.
To prepare 1 ltr of spray, take
one litre of luke warm water.
Now, out of 1 litre luke warm water,
pour 1/2 ltr into the spray bottle.
Now add into it the liquid soap
in amount of only 1 to 2 ml,
a very little.
Now shake it well
so that lather is produced.
Now, you have to mix about 5 to 10 ml
of neem oil in it that was kept just now
in hot water.
If your plant is highly infested,
then take 10 ml of neem oil  and if
has to be sprayed only as a preventive measure,
then add only 5 ml of neem oil per liter of water.
I shake it well again.
After this, the leftover half liter of
plain water should also be added
and shake it well once again.
So friends, this neem-oil spray is now
ready to be used.
Before I tell you how and when this solution  should be
sprayed over the plants and what precautions
should be taken, I'd like to tell you
about an special use of neem-oil.
Many a times, in the trunk of the plant or in a particular branch,
due to the fungal or bacterial infestation ,
that part of the plant get diseased and
consequently get damaged.
As you can see that in this rose plant,
due to fungal infections at many places,
the branch is blackening.
In such conditions, for a quick result,
neem oil should be applied directly to the
affected parts and the parts in its  surrounding.
So, for this, wet a cotton piece with neem-oil
and rub it over the affected parts.
Neem-oil, in addition to being an effective  pesticide,
is also a powerfrul fungicide.
By repeating its application only once
at an interval of 1 week, you will see that
the plant has become free of disease.
So friends, you came to know this special
use of neem-oil. Now I'd like to tell you
about the use of neem-oil spray that
we just have prepared.
Before using this spray, shake the
spray bottle well.
Due to the addition of a little soap in water,
highly viscous and water- insoluble
neem-oil breaks into small particles.
and gets distributed evenly
in the solution.
This makes easier to spray neem-oil
over the plants.
However, a little amount of soap
doesn't harm the plants.
This solution can be sprayed over
any kind of plants without any hesitation.
Friends, by spraying neem-oil over the plants
like this, no harm is done to either human,
animals or birds because unlike chemical pesticide,
it doesn't create in its surrounding,
any kind of death zone.
Only the harmful pests responsible for creating
disease in the plant are killed at all stages.
All kind of  bacterial, viral and fungal diseases
can be controlled by its use.
The most special thing about this is that  the pests
are not able to develop immunity against it.
For this reason, the effect of neem-oil is never reduces
over the pests.
Friends, whenever you use neem-oil to spray
over plants, do ensure that the ambient temperature
at that time is moderate.
The evening time is most appropriate for this.
It should always be sprayed in
indirect sunlight and to all parts
of the plant.
Spray it to both parts of leaves,
top as well as bottom so that
all parts that are affected by the disease should
come in its contact.
Friends, you may not visualize its effect
as immediately as the chemical pesticides,
but slow as well, it does have
a deep effect.
But due to being highly safe, it can be
sprayed frequently.
So, if at least three times in a month,
i.e., at an interval of 10 days, if you spray it
over the plants, then be assured that over your plants,
no any external
attack of disease will occur
and the use of chemical pesticide will
not be needed.
