Neem can stop the molting process, causing death of the insect during both the nymphal and larval stages or during the pupal period, because neem acts as a growth regulator, directly interfering with the balance of ecdysone and juvenile hormone during the synthesis of chitin and interfering during ecdysis and pupation (SINGH et al., 2008).
