    Also available in:

    Following the recommendations and agreements of the First and Second International Consultations on Neem Improvement, Bangkok (Thailand) January 1993, and Jodhpur (India) March 1994, the International Neem Network was established with the long term objective to improve the genetic quality and adaptability of neem and to improve its utilization, throughout the world, as a contribution to development in the countries concerned, in particular in concern of meeting the needs of rural people. In the initial stage, the main component of the activities of the Network is: Provenance exploration, collection and exchange for establishment of internationally coordinated trials. The Network also decided to undertake research activities in Phenology, Seed Physiology and Tehnology, Genetic diversity and Reproductive biology, and Variation in chemical compounds. National institutions of 23 countries, in Asia, Africa, Latin America and Europe, are participating in the Network which is coordinated by F AO. The main objectives of the workshop were to (i) report and discuss the 1995 activities of the network; (ii) discuss and adopt the guidelines for design and establishment of provenance trials; and (iii) to discuss the future activities of the Network. This report describes and summarizes the discussions and recommendations of the meeting.

    Neem, Azadirachta indica A. Juss. (Meliaceae), is an evergreen, multipurpose tree native to the Indian Sub-Continent and South-East Asian countries, where it has been traditionally used for centuries. The species' adaptation to hot and dry climates has made it one of the most commonly planted species in arid and semi-arid areas, both within its natural range and outside of it, in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean. In the African Sahel, neem is mainly planted as shade tree and in windbreaks , although production of fuelwood by pruning and use of various parts of the tree in local pharmacopoeia are also important. In its natural range, particularly in India, products derived from neem have been traditionally widely used for centuries for many medicinal and pest management purposes. Extracts of neem oil and chemicals derived from neem for industrial uses are gaining more and more attention worldwide.

    Following the recommendations and agreements of the First and Second International Consultations on Neem Improvement, Bangkok (Thailand) January 1993, and Jodhpur (India) March 1994, the International Neem Network was established with the long term objective to improve the genetic quality and adaptability of Neem and to improve its utilization, throughout the world, as a contribution to development in the countries concerned, with particular focus on meeting the needs of rural people. The Networ k collaborators decided to undertake activities in relation to provenance exploration, seed collection and exchange for establishment of internationally coordinated trials. The Network collaborators also decided to undertake research in seed physiology and technology, genetic diversity and reproductive biology, as well as studies on variation in chemical compounds. This article summarizes the activities and achievements of the International Neem Network with main focus on 1996 activities, includ ing the discussions and outcome of the International Neem Workshop, held 14-15 March 1996 in Bangkok, Thailand. For a general description of the International Neem Network, its objectives, organization, networking principles, and activities in the early stages of the Network, please refer to the article by A. Thomsen and O. Souvannavong in Forest Genetic Resources No. 22 (1994).
