Neem cake contains the alkaloids - nimbin and nimbicidine which effectively inhibit the nitrification process . Similarly, Karanjin (Pongamia pinnata) and (Madhuca butyracea) is a potent nitrification inhibitor equal in efficiency to nitropyrin inretarding the nitrification process of ammoniacal nitrogen and increasing the yield, nitrogen uptake and grain protein content of rice . Madhuca cake has been successfully used in coastal saline soils for cultivatiion of rice. Soils. Neem cake contains the alkaloids - nimbin and nimbicidine which effectively inhibit the nitrification process.

Mechanism of Action
- Neem seed Cake is improving the general appearance of fruits & vegetables and increasing the leaf age, growth, blossoming and strengthening the roots
- When mixing with any Nitrogenous fertilizers, it slows the conversion of Nitrogenous compounds into Nitrogen gas, thus making Nitrogen available to the plants for a longer duration.
- Due to its lack or imbalance of Nutritious and trace element It prevents and treats ailment disorders of plants
- It accelerates root development and overall plant growth and protects the plant from Nematodes and white ants.
- It is a totally organic plant food which increases productivity and soil fertility.
- It has antifungal properties and highly suitable for application in Greenhouses.
