dcterms.descriptionMany people sing the praises of the neem tree, partly because of its insect repellent constituents. Rightfully so. However, its growing popularity is causing problems for fruit farmers with neem in the vicinity. Its insect repelling component (azadirachtin) keeps insects away, thus preventing pollination of nearby flowering fruit trees. In 2001, a mango plantation in Uganda failed to fruit after neem trees, planted in 1999, started to flower for the first time.en
