Neem Cake in Lahore: Organic Fertilizer and Soil Pest Protection for Lahore’s Alkaline Soil

Organic Baghbani neem cake (neem khali) is a pure, cold pressed, granular organic fertilizer. It is delivered in Lahore and across Pakistan. A 1 kg pouch costs Rs 540. You can buy Organic Baghbani Neem Cake online directly from our store. Lahore’s soil is usually alkaline, calcareous and low in organic matter, and its summers are hot, so a slow-release organic input like neem cake fits well. For pots, mix 0.5% to 1% of the soil weight. For garden beds, mix 50 to 80 g per square metre about two weeks before sowing.

Common soil and garden problems in Lahore

Alkaline, calcareous soil

Punjab’s river alluvium holds a lot of lime, keeping the soil pH high. This makes nutrients like iron and zinc harder for plants to take up, causing pale leaves.

Low organic matter

Calcareous alluvium in central Punjab has only about 0.5 to 0.6% organic matter, meaning weak soil structure and fewer nutrient reserves

Salty, hard irrigation water

More than half of Lahore groundwater samples showed high electrical conductivity, causing salt to build up in pots and beds over time.

Root-knot nematodes & White ants (deemak)

Surveys found root-knot nematodes in about 85% of Punjab okra fields. White ants also feed on roots in dry, warm soil.

Extreme Weather

Summer highs near 40°C stress plants, monsoon rains wash out nutrients, and winter fog slows growth.

How neem cake helps Lahore soil

  • Adds organic matter & slow-release nutrients: Carries roughly 4-6% nitrogen, 1% phosphate, and 1-3% potash. Half the nitrogen becomes available over 98 days.

  • Slows nitrogen loss: Helps save nitrogen from urea in alkaline soils.

  • Protects roots: Reduces root-knot nematode infection and helps against soil grubs and white ants.

  • What it does NOT do: It does not fix sodic or very salty soil (that requires good drainage and gypsum).

How much neem cake to use in Lahore

  • Pots: 6-inch (8-15g), 8-inch (15-30g), 10-inch (25-50g), 12-inch (40-80g). Never exceed 1% of soil weight.

  • Beds: 50 to 80 g per square metre.

  • Fruit plants: 250 to 500 g for young plants; 1 to 2 kg for mature trees (twice a year).
