Contract period: 01.05.2013 - 31.03.2014
Purpose of research: Applied research

Neem oil is important in stored products protection in tropical countries where stored cereal and pulses are heavily damaged by insect pests. AzA is a very well known a.i. found in neem oil with insecticidal properties. The molecule decomposes rapidly In daylight conditions. As the farmers store their products for long time, it is important to treat maize and cowpea with Neem oil to estimate the content of AzA after different periods of storage up to six months.
