ABSTRACT: Neem-coated fertilizers represent a significant advancement in sustainable agriculture. Derived from the neem tree (Azadirachta indica), these fertilizers not only supply essential nutrients to crops but also provide natural pest control properties. This dual functionality addresses the growing need for sustainable farming practices while minimizing chemical inputs. The slow-release nature of neem-coated fertilizers enhances nutrient availability, reduces leaching, and promotes healthy soil microbiomes, making them a promising solution in the face of global agricultural challenges. INTRODUCTION: The agricultural sector is under immense pressure due to a rapidly growing population, climate change, and the pressing need for food security. Traditional fertilizers, while effective in increasing crop yields, often contribute to environmental degradation, soil health deterioration, and water pollution. Neem-coated fertilizers offer an innovative alternative that combines ...
