Multiplex Multineem is a neem oil-based botanical bio-pesticide containing Azadirachtin 0.03% EC w/w minimum. It helps manage susceptible sucking, chewing, boring and foliage-feeding insect pests through antifeedant, repellent and insect growth-regulating activity.
Multineem is useful for preventive and early-stage pest management in field, vegetable, fruit, pulse, oilseed, plantation and horticultural crops. It can be included in an Integrated Pest Management programme to help reduce continuous dependence on a single conventional insecticide chemistry.

| 200-litre spray solution | 600–1000 ml | Adjust total quantity according to the actual spray-water volume |
Dose note: The official Multiplex recommendation for Multineem is 3–5 ml per litre of water. Select the exact dose within this range according to the product label, crop, pest and infestation level.
Azadirachtin primarily produces an antifeeding response through chemoreception, discouraging susceptible insects from feeding on treated plant material. Reduced food consumption can limit further crop damage and affect normal insect development.
Exposure during the larval stage may interfere with moulting and pupation, resulting in incomplete development or deformed adults. Azadirachtin may also disrupt mating communication, discourage females from laying eggs and affect egg viability and adult reproductive activity.
Multiplex Multineem can be used as one component of an Integrated Pest Management programme involving crop monitoring, sanitation, biological control, pheromone traps and need-based application of registered insecticides.
Botanical origin does not mean that careless application is harmless. Avoid unnecessary spraying, protect pollinators, follow the label and prevent contamination of water bodies and non-target areas.
Multiplex Multineem is a neem oil-based botanical bio-pesticide containing Azadirachtin 0.03% EC w/w minimum. It is used against several label-listed sucking, chewing and boring insect pests.
The official recommended dose is 3–5 ml per litre of water. This equals 45–75 ml for a 15-litre spray pump.
It is useful against label-listed pests such as aphids, whiteflies, thrips, leafhoppers, plant hoppers, caterpillars, pod borers, stem borers, fruit borers, diamondback moth, beetles, fruit flies and plant bugs.
Azadirachtin discourages insect feeding, repels susceptible pests and interferes with moulting, pupation, egg laying, mating and normal insect development.
The manufacturer recommends regular preventive sprays at intervals of approximately 20–25 days. Actual frequency should follow the product label and local pest pressure.
Multineem is neem-based, but suitability for certified organic production depends on the certification standard and the product's current approval. Confirm acceptance with the relevant organic certification body before use.
No pesticide should be described as completely safe for every beneficial organism. Apply only when required, avoid direct spraying on bees and natural enemies, and spray outside peak pollinator-foraging hours.
The manufacturer describes the product as readily degradable and states that it leaves no toxic residue. However, all application, waiting-period and harvest instructions printed on the label must still be followed.
Do not prepare an unfamiliar tank mixture without checking both product labels. Conduct a jar test and seek qualified agricultural advice before combining it with another pesticide, fungicide or fertilizer.
