Azera is a extract of neem, Azadiracthtin. And Pyrethrins extract of daisy flowers. Just fyi. Neem oil can be harsh, especially if it is not emulsified correctly
I spotted some aphids in my greenhouse, just a few on my basil. Released a package of ladybugs, hopefully that will take care of them. Was about $12 @garden center.
Are these chemicals dangerous to humans? It really does not sound like something I want on tea that I’ll be drinking… Something that ruptures a bug’s gut or a neurotoxin.
It’s in the greenhouse, not in or on production tea (after the greenhouse, the plants are another 3-5 years in the field before harvest with nothing applied whatsoever).

They can all be harsh, so good reminder to folks

Let us know how it goes - ladybugs didn’t work for us

greenhouse heat treatments work wonders
Unfortunately, at certain stages, heat would destroy the very seedlings we are wanting to protect (the newbies fry easliy).
@@tablerockteacompany I hear you. Many plants can handle it. This is about aphids and greenhouses. Heat treatments do work.
Beauveria bassiana is an option. Green lacewing larvae.
We’ve tried a few predatory insects but with little to no success
will these work on root aphids?
I'm not sure - never had to deal with root aphids

They are close cousins to pyrethrins. Also, they are used only on plants in the greenhouse, not in field/production plants
You might want to use integrated pest management because no one wants chemicals on their tea
