I use Neem Oil a 1-2 times per year on everything, including grapes and 
Ribes.  I also use micronized sulfur, lime sulfur, copper, and Serenade, so I 
can't single out the Neem Oil as being effective.  But I don't see much in 
the way of disease problems and, as you've seen, there are plenty of reports 
Neem Oil is effective.  One thing I know it's effective on is thrips on 
orchids.  Several plants had an infestation a few years ago and four weekly 
sprays of Neem Oil eliminated them.
