Bonide Captain Jack's Neem MAX - 0.5gal - Ready-to-Use

4-in-1 Neem with Azadirachtin, 0.5gal

Buying a separate fungicide, insecticide, nematicide, and miticide for one garden means four labels to track and four products to store. Bonide Captain Jack's Neem MAX combines all four modes of action in one cold-pressed neem oil formula, retaining the azadirachtin content that gives it activity against a broader range of insects than a refined, azadirachtin-stripped neem oil.

This 0.5gal ready-to-use container applies straight from the bottle with no mixing step, labeled for vegetables, fruits, nuts, herbs, spices, roses, flowers, shrubs, houseplants, and turfgrass, indoors and outdoors.

Key Features & Benefits

• 4-in-1 control — functions as a fungicide, insecticide, nematicide, and miticide in one product.
• Cold-pressed with azadirachtin retained — the compound that disrupts insect development and broadens control beyond refined neem oil.
• Broad crop compatibility — labeled for vegetables, fruit, nuts, herbs, spices, roses, flowers, shrubs, houseplants, and turfgrass.
• Ready-to-use format — pre-diluted and applied straight from the container, no mixing needed.

Who Should Use This

Home gardeners and small-scale growers who want one versatile 0.5gal product addressing insects, mites, nematodes, and fungal disease together, rather than managing a separate spray program for each, are the direct fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Neem MAX different from regular neem oil?

Neem MAX is cold-pressed to retain its azadirachtin content, the key insect growth regulator in neem that many refined, hydrophobic neem oil products lose during processing. Products retaining azadirachtin provide broader insect control than azadirachtin-stripped neem oil.

Can Neem MAX be used on edible crops?

Yes, it is labeled for vegetables, fruits, nuts, and herbs. Always follow label instructions for application timing, rate, and pre-harvest intervals when applying to edible crops.

When is the best time to apply this product?

Apply during the evening or in low-light conditions to reduce the risk of leaf scorch and limit exposure to pollinators. Avoid applying during the heat of the day or in direct bright sunlight.

How do I apply this product?

This 0.5gal container is pre-diluted and ready to use directly from the bottle, with no mixing required. Apply as a foliar spray following the rate and timing on the product label.
