Are Neem oil and submerging plants effective for pest treatment?

Question

ForwardPlant Team · Accepted Answer

Yes, both Neem oil and submerging plants can be effective for pest treatment. Neem oil, derived from the Neem tree, acts as an insect growth regulator and antifeedant, disrupting pest life cycles. Submerging plants, on the other hand, works by depriving most terrestrial pests of oxygen, effectively drowning them. However, care must be taken with submerging, as not all plants tolerate prolonged submersion, and the duration needs to be sufficient to impact pests without harming the plant.
