“…The major neem extract such as neem oil, leaf extracts, bark extracts, and root extracts as well as the by-product of neem i.e., neem cake contain pesticidal properties and are used as bio-pesticide, fungicide and organic manure (Acharya et al, 2017). These extracts and byproducts can be used singly or can be mixed with the other compounds to produce the final products (Sara et al, 2004).…”

“…These days all the concern has been provided towards the organic, safe, and non-toxic pesticides that could replace the synthetic ones (Acharya et al, 2017). Biopesticides are the alternative way to the synthetic pesticides and naturally derived preparations or formulations that control pests by non-toxic mechanisms in an eco-friendly manner (Gupta & Dikshit, 2010).…”

Neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss) is a member of Meliaceae family, a fast-growing tropical evergreen plant whose products were found effective against economically important insect pests and diseases. All parts of this plant particularly leaf, bark, and root extracts have the biopesticidal activities. Azadirachtin, a biopesticide obtained from neem extract, can be used for con-trolling various insect pests in agriculture. It acts on insects by repelling them, by inhibiting feeding, and by disrupting their growth, and reproduction. Neem-based formulations do not usually kill insects directly, but they can alter their behavior in significant ways to reduce pest damage to crops and reduce their reproductive potential. The neem is considered as an eas-ily accessible, eco-friendly, biodegradable, cheap, and non-toxic biopesticide which control the target pests. Thus, this re-view highlighted the extract, byproducts and roles of neem that can be used as potential biopesticide in agriculture.

“…The roots, leaves, bark, seeds, and flowers of the Neem have been used for many years in traditional medicine to treat many diseases and disorders (Biswas et al., 2002; Rao et al., 2019). Neem oil, extracted from the seeds, is used as a raw material for the production of pesticides and soap, for the protection of agricultural stock and textiles, as lubricant for engines, and for the treatment of several diseases such as diabetes and tuberculosis (Acharya et al., 2017; Orhevba et al., 2013). In agriculture, Neem leaves, crushed and soaked in water, have been used as a fungicide and insecticide for the treatment of plants pathogens (Adewoye & Ogunleye, 2012; Liauw et al., 2008; Nde et al., 2015).…”

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the composition of fatty acids, antioxidant, and phenolic compounds in Acacia polyacantha and Azadirachta indica seed extracts for their potential uses in nutrition. Extractions of oil using several techniques (Soxhlet, ultrasound, and microwave) in several solvents were carried out and the oils were characterized. Total phenolic content ranged between 4.22 and 31.48 mg GAE/g. Antioxidant activity (CE50) ranged between 1.95 and 22.91 mg/ml. Oleic and linoleic acids were the major unsaturated fatty acids while palmitic and stearic acids were the major saturated fatty acids in both oils. 3‐hydroxybenzoic acid, resveratrol rutin, and flavan were identified by HPLC‐DAD at high contents while chlorogenic acid, vanillic acid, syringic acid, epicatechin, p‐coumaric acid, transferulic acid, ellagic acid, rutin, cinnamic acid, chlorogenic acid, and caffeic acid were lower in Neem oil. In case of A. polyacantha oil, the percentages of ellagic acid and rutin were high. Practical applications This study investigated the best method which gives a high oil extraction yield from among Soxhlet, ultrasound, and microwave using green solvents. Results revealed that acetone and isopropanol can be used for oil extraction from seeds using microwave or ultrasound with shorter extraction times (30 min with ultrasound and 15 min for microwave). These solvents provided oils with high phenolic content and good antioxidant properties. The main fatty acids identified were oleic, linoleic, palmitic, and stearic acids. These oils thus have a high potential for pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industrial uses.
