• Insecticide: Water-soluble Karanja oil is used to manage pests such as aphids, whiteflies, caterpillars, and spider mites. It can be applied directly to crops as a foliar spray.
• Fungicide: It is effective in controlling fungal infections like powdery mildew and leaf spot, protecting the foliage and fruits of plants.
• Nematicide: The oil can be used to control soil-borne nematodes, which attack plant roots, leading to healthier and more productive plants.
• Soil Amendment: Karanja cake, the byproduct of oil extraction, is used to improve soil quality and manage soil pests, enhancing crop yield and health.

Dosage Organic Farming :

Foliar Spray:

Purpose: To control pests (such as aphids, mites, whiteflies) and fungal diseases (like powdery mildew, leaf spot).

Dosage: Typically, karanja oil is diluted with water and a surfactant (any Emulsifier/ Potassium Soap) to enhance coverage and effectiveness. The recommended dilution ratio is usually between 1% to 2% (1 to 2 parts karanja oil per 100 parts water).

For example:

For 1% dilution: Mix 1 liter of karanja oil with 99 liters of water.

For 2% dilution: Mix 2 liters of karanja oil with 98 liters of water.

Application: Spray the diluted solution evenly on plant foliage, ensuring thorough coverage of both upper and lower leaf surfaces. Apply early in the morning or late in the afternoon to minimize the risk of leaf burn due to sunlight.
