Azera is a extract of neem, Azadiracthtin. And Pyrethrins extract of daisy flowers. Just fyi. Neem oil can be harsh, especially if it is not emulsified correctly
I spotted some aphids in my greenhouse, just a few on my basil. Released a package of ladybugs, hopefully that will take care of them. Was about $12 @garden center.
Are these chemicals dangerous to humans? It really does not sound like something I want on tea that I’ll be drinking… Something that ruptures a bug’s gut or a neurotoxin.
It’s in the greenhouse, not in or on production tea (after the greenhouse, the plants are another 3-5 years in the field before harvest with nothing applied whatsoever).

They can all be harsh, so good reminder to folks

Let us know how it goes - ladybugs didn’t work for us
Beauveria bassiana is an option. Green lacewing larvae.
We’ve tried a few predatory insects but with little to no success
greenhouse heat treatments work wonders
Unfortunately, at certain stages, heat would destroy the very seedlings we are wanting to protect (the newbies fry easliy).
@@tablerockteacompany I hear you. Many plants can handle it. This is about aphids and greenhouses. Heat treatments do work.
will these work on root aphids?
I'm not sure - never had to deal with root aphids

They are close cousins to pyrethrins. Also, they are used only on plants in the greenhouse, not in field/production plants
You might want to use integrated pest management because no one wants chemicals on their tea
