PROCESSING NEEM SEEDS?
To produce a spraying mixture with 10 ltrs of water, 500 gms neem seeds are required. If it is not possible to weigh the seeds, containers, such as traditional measuring tins and pots etc., where the capacity is known, are equally suitable for measuring the correct amount of seeds and water. Before mixing, the seeds are crushed or pounded preferably in a mill or mortar, then the crushed seeds are poured into the water and stirred vigorously. This mixture should now be left to stand for atleast 5 hours – if possible overnight – in order that the neem substances are fully released from the seeds into the water solution.
