The Feasibility of Dried Tobacco Leaves as a Pesticide Against Cockroaches

THE FEASIBILITY OF DRIED baccy LEAVES AS A PESTICIDE AGAINST COCKROACHESChapter I thieve baccy builds in a flashadays argon actually(prenominal) much expected and de valet de chambreded by closely of our dear consumers oddly farmer and now that we are facing an intense stinting crisis, and with that mere stead, the primary necessities which are very much needed by man in site for him to survive his day-by-day living are now of high prices compared to the last couple of years and that includes the directing need and use of the liquefied petroleum torpedo or LPG.Because of the fact that this difficult situation happens, most of our dear consumers really do prefer using alternative briquettes for their incompatible cooking purposes. The purpose of this battlefield is to be able to produce a low-cost, get-at-able and alternative briquette. The tec really wants to bash if banana tree tree peelings can be a full(a) source of briquettes. The investigator collect a ll the materials needed in consumeing the tell test like the banana peelings, scratched written document, water, beat cup, knife, plat pains balance, scissors, molders, matches, pen, and paper and conducted the said taste step by step.Then the detective came up with the results that the molder with water, banana peelings and paper showed the hourlong time of fire resistivity after being lit. Therefore, using banana peelings as a source of briquettes is effective and through this, awe can be able to produce a low-cost, come-at-able and alternative source of briquette. The researcher recommended entirely analyse and some opposite sources of fruit peelings. undercoat Of The Study The baccy localise plant is a very popular material because it is unriva take of the ingre conknts in making cigarettes.Tobacco is a herbaceous plant extensively well-bred for its leaves, which are trilled into cigars and also utilize in making pipes, exercise for chew or contritene ss into pieces or snuff. numerous an(prenominal) commercial employ baccy plant leaves as one of its components. The baccy plant is coarse, stiff growing plant with a unanalyzable cylindrical stem from 4 to 8 ft. in length, growing from central taproots. Tobacco leaves has nicotine, a poisonous, color slight, oily, liquid, alkaloid with a very pane taste. and then, making this a good pesticide against termites and many other insects.Pesticide are widely use forthwith by means of violent death and imperative insects and other pests With this admit, the researchers want to get hold out if the desiccate tobacco leaves is workable as a pesticide Thus, helping them to helper and make this pesticide at home with less(prenominal) or cheaper money, time and effort. Statement Of The line This study aims to test whether the dried tobacco leaves is feasible as an pesticide. This is because tobacco plant is abundant here in the Philippines. The process in making this insectici de is unsubdivided and much cheaper than the commercial pesticide because its just a home- made pesticide.There are both set- ups in this study, which allow use dried tobacco leaves ( thinly chopped ), water, plaster and pestle and a spray container. This study aims to answer the following questions 1. )What is in the tobacco leaves that it is feasible as a pesticide? 2. )Is the dries tobacco leaves effective as a pesticide? HYPOTHESES 1. )The tobacco leaves has nicotine which is an effective component in cleanup position ropees. 2. )The dried tobacco leaves is effective as a pesticide against cockroaches. Significance Of The Study Nowadays, military personnels beings make many inventions, for the betterment of human life.One of this, is the pesticide . This is to pr razet insects from causing legal injury to may crops and other plants. whatever insects are considered to be pests because it really causes damage to many farmlands. And also many pesticide are expensive. Thi s study helps the Filipino people especially the farmers in making a home- made pesticide which is less expensive, and easy to make and youll only employ less effort. Scope and Limitation This study tries to focus only in subtile if the dried tobacco leaves is feasible as a pesticide in exhausting insects especially cockroaches.

The spines on the legs were earlier considered to be sensory, but observations of their traveling on sand and wire meshes has demonstrate that they help in locomotion on difficult terrain. The structures have been used as inspiration for robotic legs. Cockroaches are most habitual in tropical andsubtropicalclimates. Some species are in close standoff with human dwellings and widely found around garbage or in the kitchen.Cockroaches are generallyomnivorouswith the exception of thewood-eating genusCryptocercus these roaches are incapable of digestingcelluloseprotozoansandbacteriathat digest the cellulose, allowing them to invite out the nutrients. themselves, but have symbiotic relationships with variousTobaccois an rudeproduct processed from the freshleavesof plants in the genusNicotiana.

With this materials ,the researcher will be able to cond uct the experiment . Procedure The researcher will gather all the materials needed for the experiment . The dried tobacco leaves will be crush by the use of the daub and pestle. 200mL. of water will be added . Shake and mix the solution soundly . The solution will be designate inside the spray container. Then it will be sprayed on cockroaches. The cockroaches will be put inside a close box container and will be discover for 24 hours. Testing , observation and put down of data will follow .CHAPTER IV Results and Discussions A. Findings pic The table above is the summary of the three-replicated experiments. The researcher observed that container A has always the longest fire resistance compared to container B which was with water, banana peels but without papers and to container C which is the controlled group. In trial 3, the fire resistance lasted longer tan in trials 1 and 2, respectively. It shows that the centre of banana peels is made constant in order for the experiment ti be fair. B. Analysis Of Data he banana peelings have the advantage in terms of the measured fire resistance.The banana peelings motley with water and papers measured 200 seconds while the banana peelings with water but without papers measured 104 seconds and the water with papers but without banana peelings measured 96. 3 seconds. CHAPTER V CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION termination After conducting the experiment, the dried tobacco plant can be a good pesticide against cockroaches. And with that , it can minimized the consumers expenses in buy commercial pesticides. Recommendation The researcher super recommend further study in the project especially to the use of other dried tobacco leaves.
