Nature's Shield Organic Neem Cake Fertiliser is made from Certified Organic Neem seeds in GMP, HACCP certified facilities and comes in an easy-to-use pellet format. Native to India, the neem tree has been celebrated for centuries for its many valuable uses. It has been using there successfully by the farming communities for many many decades. Neem Cake is formed from the organic matter left, after oil has been extracted from neem seeds. This enriches the neem cake with neem oil content, carrying all the valued benefits of neem. It is used as a fertiliser; soil conditioner and soil ameliorate. Composed of macro and micro nutrients, it increases soil fertility in a variety of ways. The raw material aerates and improves the water-holding capacity of the soil, while the wide spectrum of essential elements and compounds supplies nutrients in a slow-release pattern which promotes plant growth. The slow, uniform release of nutrients over time means crops and plants are fed continuously throughout their growing season. When used in combination it boosts the efficiency of other fertilisers by inhibiting nitrification of soil. It also aids earthworm proliferation and health, improving the efficiency and growth rate of earth worms when added to vermicompost.
