Indian Lilac provides a natural alternative to synthetic pesticides.
Its leaves are dried in India and placed in cupboards to prevent insects eating the clothes, and also in tins where rice is stored.

The tree is of great importance for its anti-desertification properties and as a good carbon dioxide sink. It is also used for maintaining soil fertility. It's extract is added to fertilizers as nitro-inhibitor.
