Laboratory studies on the antifeeding effect of azadirachtin on the Tobacco caterpillar, Spodoptera litura Fab. showed that neem based pesticide may be efficacious for the control of this insect. Based on the laboratory studies commercial neem pesticides, Nimba, Neemark and Neem Plus against Spodoptera litura Fab. Azadirachtin-rich Neemark proved very effective at deterring feeding of the Spodoptera litura.
