Abstract

Azadirachtin-A has been found to be more stable in acetone and methanol than in chloroform, methylene chloride, carbon-tetrachloride, ethanol and water at 29±1°C upto 25 days. In ethanol and water, only 15.6 and 15.0% of azadirachtin-A, respectively, was recovered after 25d of incubation.
