Abstract

Azadirachta indica is a species of multiple uses originated from India. It belongs to Meliaceae family. This species was introduced in Brazil in 1993. The first experimental trials were established in the State of Goiás, specifically in "Cerrado" (Brazilian savanna) ecosystem. In Northern and Northwestern Brazil neem has been planted in small plots in precipitation conditions ranging from 600 mm (Petrolina, PE) to 2200 mm (Castanhal, PA). There are more cultivation in the States of São Paulo and Bahia and in Central Brazil, where precipitation ranges from 1000 to 2000 mm, especially concentrated in the summer. However, mostly of planted neem has not been based on the best indicating methodology of species, considering regional differences where adequate soil and climate conditions were not taken into account . This work aimed to provide information about soil and climate needs for neem based on the available literature.
