Regional and habitat variability in azadirachtin content of Indian neem (Azadirachta indica A. Jusieu)

Regional and habitat variability in azadirachtin content of Indian neem (Azadirachta indica A. Jusieu)

Azadirachtin content in the seeds of neem (Azadirachta indica A. Jusieu) collected from different regions of India was studied. The concentration of azadirachtin varied from 200 to 16,000 ppm (μg/g of the seed kernel). Azadirachtin content was found to be affected by climate and habitat. Annual vari...

Zusammenfassung:Azadirachtin content in the seeds of neem (Azadirachta indica A. Jusieu) collected from different regions of India was studied. The concentration of azadirachtin varied from 200 to 16,000 ppm (μg/g of the seed kernel). Azadirachtin content was found to be affected by climate and habitat. Annual variation in azadirachtin content was significant. The highest azadirachtin content was recorded in the neem tree populations growing in the southern part of India.
