Mode of Action

Varied modes of action are noticed such as:

• Anti-feedant - Insects stop feeding on the surface treated with azadirachtin.

• Repellent - The odor repels the insects.

• Growth regulatory - Azadirachtin ingested, young insects do not reach adulthood but become malformed miniature adults. It prolongs the larval stage. Evidences suggest that azadirachtin interferes with the morphogenetic and neuro-endocrine system.

• Ovipositor Effect - Azadirachtin treated area prevents insects from laying eggs and reduces egg laying activities drastically.

• Effect on fertility and reproduction - Azadirachtin is known to be an ecdysis inhibitor and also found to affect vitellogenesis, which leads to oocyte maturity. Marked reduction in fecundity is observed.
