Abstract
A novel method of controlling fungi is disclosed. The method involves contacting the fungi, or a surface to be protected from the fungi, with a neem oil fungicide derived from a neem seed extract. The neem oil is prepared by extracting dried, coarsely ground neem seeds with a non-polar, hydrophobic solvent to obtain a neem oil extract and then removing the solvent to obtain the neem oil.
