Truth be told, I found Neem oil application to be very effective against it.

True. I read that. Also that intercropping with other plants confuses them.

How often did you apply neem oil?

How does one find solution to snails? They kill young seedlings easily.

Happy Easter.

Can the same results be achieved with blended neem leaves, mixed with detergent and vegetable oil?

I don't want to incur cost buying neem oil.

Snail na anoda matter my Broda!!! Tried all sort walahi, dem still dey chop my garden plants. Having said that, my most trustworthy method of eradicating them is handpicking.
Secondly, placing little bowls filled with beer also worked wonders. But ofcos, I don't see this methods practicable on a commercial scale.

Detergent how angry I guess you mean to say liquid soap? (Morning fresh work well for me). Neem leaves works but Neem oil is the real deal. Compared both outcomes and I can tell you authoritatively, Neem oil is your best option.

Sorry for my numerous questions, which contains more azadirachtin? Neem leaves or seed kernels?

PS. Azadirachtin is the ingredient that repels insects and fungus.

The seeds. If you are trying to save cost, do blend the seeds and leaves together. The mixture is more effective from my experience.

Try organicfoods. If you are Lagos based, you can try out any of the Agritropic offices. Last time I went visiting, she's still got lots in their branch offices.

Snail, hmmmmm. I once heard of placing little pieces of broken bottles around the farm, but don't know if that will work. What I do is to handpick and throw away.

Annoying part is they just stay in the underside of the leaves making it even more difficult to see them.
