Neem seed extract was evaluated at a concentration of 50 p.p.m. azadirachtin for potential oviposition deterrence, and for effects on larval survival, adult longevity and fecundity in the cabbage fly ( Delia radicum ). Oviposition was not deterred, nor was larval survival or fecundity affected. Adult longevity was not significantly reduced when neem seed extract was added to the diet.
