neem tree

Tropical pesticide source

A neem tree is a fast-growing evergreen native to South Asia, widely cultivated in tropical regions.

The tree is valued for its medicinal properties and natural pesticide compounds—neem oil extracted from its seeds repels insects and treats skin conditions.

The farmer planted neem trees around the field as a natural pest deterrent.
