You can use any soap since the soap is used as a surfacant to help the oil dissolve. But the black soap may have additional insecticidial ppty.

Organic farming is about documentation. Wwoof and Vantage organic foods are enrolling farmers for international certification. 1st batch of farmers will have their farm visited and audited starting October 8. Hopefully we can be able to achieve total compliance... The next batch will then follow. Then we can enroll your farm. But you must cultivate soy bean plus a registration fee of 1000 Naira and 2 passport. Certification is free.

How neem oil deters chewing and sucking insects
There is a nice story that demonstrates how grasshoppers react to neem oil insecticide. It goes something like this: Someone did an experiment. It involved two jars, two leaves, and two grasshoppers. One leaf was sprayed with a chemical insecticide, and one with neem oil. The two grasshoppers were put in the two jars, with one leaf each.

The first grasshopper ate the leaf and died almost instantly. The grasshopper with the neem oil covered leaf did not touch the leaf and lived. At least for a few days. Eventually it starved to death. What would you prefer? A poisonous half eaten lettuce, or an organic, untouched lettuce? It's a no brainer, isn't it?

Neem Oil for Aphids Control in Potatoes and Cereals
Aphids, also known as plant lice, infest hundreds of plant varieties. The most affected remain potatoes and cereals. They are pestsare dreaded by gardeners and crop cultivators all over the world, especially the temperate regions. Their asexual reproducing capacity makes then a successful species from a zoological perspective.
They vary between 1mm-10mm in length and aphids generally have soft, pudgy bodies. Their colouring, which merges with the infested plant, can vary between being greenish brown for potatoes, brown for cereals and even colourless for other plants. An Aphid infests a plant and feeds on the sap of the phloem of the plant till the phloem vessel is punctured. Once this happens, transport of nourishment and nutrients to the different parts of the plant gets disrupted.
Additionally, Aphids also consume the Xylem sap,parallely causing damage to the flow of water within the plant and also replenishing its own water content. Once the plant gets weakened due to the devastation of its phloem and xylem cells by the Aphids, aphids reproduce and infest the plant further with more Aphids. These Aphids also carry plant viruses and destroy the plant beyond repair.
The blight fever in potatoes and cereal crop damages which occur in many parts of the world are due to aphid infestation and lack of early detection of the same. Over the years, certain kinds of aphids have acquired immunity towards some chemical pesticides, thereby making it difficult to control them.
Neem oil is a good organic pesticide to be used to control aphids in potatoes and cereals because it contains Azadirachtin which cause hormonal changes in aphids resulting in aphids ceasing to consume the sap of the phloem, rupturing the xylem and reproducing asexually.
Furthermore, since neem oil causes damage only to the plant infesting, i.e. sap consuming aphids; the naturally occurring organisms which replenish the soil and enrich the plant do not get destroyed. Potatoes and cereals are high value crops which fetch the cultivator a good income and high returns on investment. Aphid control through chemical pesticides is an expensive process and neem oil in comparison, is not so costly.
This will ensure that the cultivator’s return on investment remains high. Neem oil is eco-friendly and does not carry any side effects, either to the environment or the soil and hence is a good solution to tackle the menace of Aphids in potatoes and cereals.

Neem Oil For Farm Animals

Sheep, pigs, cats, horses, and other animals can all benefit from neem oil. Unlike a lot of other flea, insect, and mange treatment products on the market for animals, they aren’t tempted to lick neem due to its sulfuric and bitter taste and, more importantly, it isn’t poisonous for your animals.

To get rid of any insects and other pests in the barn, mix one part neem oil with fifty parts water. Make as much as you think you may need, and then spray both the walls and the floor of the barn twice a day (when the animals are outside). Remove any food or water from the barn prior to spraying, as the bitter taste of the neem will likely have your animals turning their noses up at the food. If you are using it on your livestock because of mange, you may spray it directly on the infected area. It goes without saying that you want to be mindful about getting the solution in their eyes or mouth.

For any animals with hooves, like pigs, sheep, goats, and horses, neem oil can also make for a very nice hoof treatment. Take five teaspoons of neem oil and mix it in one quart of water. Dip the hoof into the mixture, and you’re set.

Things to avoid while using neem oil as pesticides.

1. Make sure you are not making the pesticides for keeps. Potency of Neem oil based pesticides reduce drastically after two days.
2. Don't apply neem oil directly to the Napster sprayer filled with water. Apply only to the soap lather for proper emulsification...else you will risk getting your plant burnt if you have the oil on the leaves of plant in a very hot afternoon.

It won't, potency may have dropped though.
Re: How To Make Cheap Organic Pesticides from neem oil by Newway2(m): 9:29am On Mar 14, 2016
I agree that potency of d neem/dongoyaro leaves might drop after soaking for 3wks. Like normal herbal tea/ "agbo", d more u change d water, d less potent it bcoms. If it does not smell like agbo again, then u nd to change d leaves & water. However, it doesn't harm/affect ur plant in any way.

What I do in my case is to soak d neem cuttings/branches in water & use d water solution together with neem oil to get good pesticidal potency for d "bad guys"

God bless our hustles.

Conventional farmers that wants to go organic usually starts their pursuit using neem oil for their pesticides. Normally after mastering the use, they gradually migrate to full organic farm.The benefits of using neem oil as pesticide far out weights chemical use... apart from inherent danger of poisoning and toxicity associated with synthetic pesticides, they somehow contribute to low yields in flowering plants, by destroying beneficiary insects like bees and butterflies that are needed to pollinate flowering plants. Using synthetic pesticides on farm is likened to using an atomic bomb to destroy enemies living within our own family. We risk losing everyone...friends and enemy alike. Neem oil and its products does not kill beneficiary insect on farm. Its nature's unique way of dealing with the bad guys on our farms.
