and insect feeding inhibitor, thereby protecting the plants. This
ingredient belongs to an organic molecule class called
tetranortriterpenoids. It is similar in structure to insect hormones
called "ecdysones," which control the process of metamorphosis
as the insects pass from larva to pupa to adult.
It is interesting to note, that neem doesn't kill insects, but alters
their life process.
