Neem is biologically called as Azadirachta Indica which is a traditional medicinal plant that grows in India, Nigeria and United States. The presence of phytochemical and biopesticide components was proven. The result revealed that saponins and terpenes were the most abundant, while tannins and glycosides were moderately abundant. Alkaloids, flavonoids and phenol were also present. The presence of these phytochemicals could account for neem’s biological uses and antibacterial activity testing shows that it is more effective. Bacillus subtillis, staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and pseudomonas aeruginosa are the names of four pathogens.
