"Azadirachta indica) active ingredients which exhibit agro-medicinal properties conferring insecticidal as well as immunomodulatory and anti-cancer properties. The most prominent constituent of neem is azadirachtin, which has been established as a pivotal insecticidal ingredient. It acts as an antifeedant, repellent, and repugnant agent and induces sterility in insects by preventing oviposition and interrupting sperm production in males.

"The farmers of tropical Asia are applying neem leaves to rice fields as green manure traditionally. Neem cake blending of urea is recommended for inhibition of nitrification and increasing nitrogen use efficiency. Field experiment conducted at the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, India, during kharif and rabi seasons in 1984–85 with a short duration (105 days) rice cv. IR 50 showed that application of fresh neem leaf at 5 t/ha or dry neem leaf 1.25 t/ha with urea resulted in higher N recovery per cent and N response ratio and gave increased grain yield compared to the yield obtained due to the application of urea alone. Besides increasing the grain yield, neem leaf application could save about 50 per cent N application and give greater net returns to the farmer. [Santhi, S. & Palaniappan, Sp. (2008).

"There have been many kinds of organic fertilizers, such as manure, sewage sludge, stalks, compost, biogas residues, biogas slurry and so on. An increasing body of literature has been focused on the N fertilizers for crop yield and NO3 −-N leaching, but very little is about comparing different kinds of organic fertilizers on NO3 −-N distribution (soil, leachate and crop), vegetable yield and quality during the agricultural process. To solve the problem of nitrate content in vegetables, soil and underground water exceeding standard caused by unreasonable fertilization, specific objectives of this study were to: (i) evaluate different organic fertilizers on vegetable yield and quality; (ii) and also determine nitrate concentrations in different soil layers and soil leachate to evaluate environmental risk.
