Karanja plant-based oilcake for sowing and maintenance 800 g

Karanja: a precious plant for a healthy garden

CP Jardin karanja cake is a plant-based organic fertilizer made from the seeds of karanja (*Pongamia glabra*), a tree grown through sustainable agriculture in India. After the oil is extracted, the seeds are ground to produce this nutrient-rich cake, naturally active in stimulating plant growth while strengthening their natural defenses.

But that’s not all: karanja cake is also known for its repellent properties against many soil pests (nematodes, aphids, caterpillars…). It is therefore a fertilizer and a protector, 100% natural, that works gently and progressively without upsetting the soil ecosystem.

🛡️ Repellent benefits of karanja cake: how to use it effectively?

Karanja cake creates an environment unfavorable to the development of many soil pests such as:

• Nematodes
• Root aphids
• White grubs, wireworms, soil caterpillars
• Seed flies, flea beetles, psyllids…

It does not kill directly, but acts as a natural repellent by releasing volatile substances that disrupt their presence around the roots.
