Does Spraying Neen Oil on Cracked/Exposed Stem Prevent Infections?

I made a minor crack/tear in one of my stems during super cropping (flowering is starting or about to start outdoors). Will spraying a diluted cold-pressed neem oil solution onto the wound and surrounding healthy foliage help prevent fungal infections and other problems or?

I did this earlier in the season when I made a couple major splits and breaks while attempting to tie down branches to LST and spraying with neem oil seemed to help.

Neem is an insecticide, not an anti fungal. I’d also use neem lightly and not at all once flowering starts. Tape up the break and provide some support if needed, and she’ll likely fix herself. Neem had nothing to do with it last time.
