@Ash: Hello Ash; I think you could use dish soap as an alternative, and no, the concentration doesn’t matter. It’s simply there as a dispersant, not as an active ingredient

This page and article were a great find. Mrs Green, I have a quick question, when you mentioned 1 tbsp of washing liquid (the stuff you put in a washing machine), does it matter what the concentration or brand is? As an example, some detergents are concentrated, would i still use a tbsp spoon? Is there a reason that”dish” soap shouldn’t be used.

Thanks

Hi I’m Adam. I was a Bio Science Researcher for about 10 years. Presently I’m publishing articles about the Bio-pesticides and discovering best and effective Bio-pesticide products around the world for better organic farming. Neem Oil has been considered as the effective Bio-pesticide due its azadirachtin constituent which has also been mentioned in the above content. But People have no idea about How much ppm of azadirachtin is required for effective pest control. Here is the answer for that. Neem oil with Azadirachtin 3000ppm is found to have the best pesticide quality. So I suggest farmers to use product contains 3000ppm of azadirachtin for better Organic Farming and gardening.
