IFFCO Urban Gardens Doctor Neem+ (Triple Action Organic Insecticide)
The "Triple Action" Organic Shield for Home Gardens: Neem + Pongamia + Lemongrass.
[Image of IFFCO Urban Gardens Doctor Neem+ bottle]Doctor Neem+ is a specialized bio-pesticide designed specifically for the urban gardener. Unlike messy, smelly raw neem oil, this is a 100% Water Soluble formulation that mixes instantly. It combines the power of Neem (to stop pests growing), Pongamia (to kill mites), and Lemongrass (to repel insects and smell fresh). It is the perfect, safe alternative to toxic chemicals for your balcony, terrace, and kitchen gardens.
Best For: Mealybugs, Aphids, Whiteflies, Mites, and Fungal prevention on Roses, Hibiscus, and Vegetables.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ?️Triple Action Formula: Combines three powerful oils: Neem (stops feeding), Pongamia (kills mites), and Lemongrass (repels pests).
- ?Pleasant Citrus Scent: Unlike traditional neem oil which smells like rotten garlic, this formulation uses Lemongrass to create a fresh, citrusy aroma suitable for indoor use.
- ?100% Water Soluble: Pre-emulsified technology means it mixes instantly with water. No need to add soap, heat it, or shake violently. It won't clog your sprayer.
- ?Zero Harvest Wait (0 PHI): Completely safe for edible crops. You can spray your spinach or tomatoes and harvest them the very next day (just wash and eat).
- ?️Kills Mites Too: Most insecticides don't kill spider mites. The Pongamia oil in this mix effectively suffocates mites, which are common in dry urban environments.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Doctor Neem+ attacks pests from three different angles, making it difficult for them to survive:
[Image of neem oil disrupting insect growth cycle]- Stops Growth (Neem): The Azadirachtin mimics insect hormones. When a larva eats it, it forgets to molt (shed skin) and dies before becoming an adult.
- Suffocates Mites (Pongamia): The Pongamia oil creates a coating over soft-bodied pests and mites, blocking their breathing pores and causing them to dry out.
- Repels & Confuses (Lemongrass): The strong citrus scent masks the smell of your plants, confusing flying pests like Whiteflies so they cannot find a place to lay eggs.
This multi-layered approach acts as an "immunization" for your garden, preventing infestations before they start.
Target Crops & Pests

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Consistency is key. Organic pest control works best as a preventative measure. Spray weekly.
Dosage per Litre & Timing
| Application Type | Dose (ml / Litre) | Frequency | Best Time to Spray | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Preventative (Maintenance) | 3 ml | Every 7-10 Days | Late Evening / Sunset | 0 Days |

*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: You can harvest and eat your vegetables immediately after washing.
How to Apply: Best Practices
[Image of spraying balcony garden plants]- Timing (CRITICAL): Always spray in the late evening or early morning. Sunlight (UV rays) destroys the active ingredients quickly, and spraying oils in hot sun can burn the leaves.
- Mixing: Add 5ml to 1 liter of water. Shake well. The solution should turn milky white immediately. No extra soap is needed.
- Coverage: Pests like aphids and mites hide under the leaves. Ensure you spray the undersides of the foliage thoroughly until it drips.
- Flowering Stage: Avoid spraying directly on open flowers to protect bees and prevent petal discoloration. Spray only the leaves and stems.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does it smell bad like regular Neem Oil?
No. While it has a faint neem undertone, the added Lemongrass oil gives it a dominant, fresh citrus scent, making it very acceptable for indoor and balcony use.
2. Is it safe for my pets and children?
Yes. Since it is made from botanical oils, it is non-toxic to mammals. However, keep the concentrated bottle out of reach of children, and allow the spray to dry before letting pets touch the plants.
3. Can I use it on vegetables I am about to eat?
Absolutely. Unlike chemical poisons (like Monocrotophos), Doctor Neem+ leaves no toxic residue. You can harvest the next day, wash the produce, and consume it safely.
4. Why do I need to spray in the evening?
Neem compounds break down when exposed to strong sunlight. Spraying in the evening allows the oil to soak into the leaf overnight, providing maximum protection.
5. Will it leave a sticky residue?
No. Because it is pre-emulsified and water-soluble, it dries cleanly without leaving the heavy, sticky grease associated with raw neem oil.
