Bonide Captain Jack's Neem MAX - 16oz - Concentrate

4-in-1 Neem with Azadirachtin, 16oz

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 16oz concentrate mixes with water per label directions into a foliar spray or drench, 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.
• Concentrate format — mix with water per label directions for a foliar spray or soil drench.

Who Should Use This

Home gardeners and small-scale growers who want one versatile 16oz 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 prepare this concentrate for application?

Mix this 16oz concentrate with water according to the rate on the product label before applying as a foliar spray or drench. Follow all label directions for the specific crop and pest or disease being targeted.
