The Feasibility of Malunggay leaves (Moringa Oleifera)

and Chili fruit ( Capsicum Frutescens) as Pesticide

ABSTRACT:
Pesticide making is popular nowadays and it is also very helpful in our world in the
field of agriculture. Thus many people continue to experiment pesticides to produce better
quality and quantity. Pesticide can be applied to the treatment of an organism, such as a crop
or ornamental plant, against damage by other plants, insects, fungi, or animals.
The researcher aims to produce pesticide out of malunggay leaves and chilli fruit which is
known in our country. And is very useful to many people and also to have another
alternatives of pesticide.
The process in making pesticide was quite difficult and simple. First are you had to prepare all
the materials needed .Second get the extract of the malunggay leaves and chilli fruit. Next ,
mix the the extract of the malunggay leaves and chilli fruit. After that store the solution in 5-7
days and aging process will then be continue.
The data and observation gathered is clearly state that the malunggay leaves and chilli fruit
as pesticide is easily be contaminated when aging and the researcher therefore conclude that
the malunggay leaves and chili fruit is feasible in making pesticide.
CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study:
The Pesticide is a broad term that refers to any device, method, or chemicals that kill plants or
animals that compete for humanitys food supply or are otherwise undesirable. A pesticide
chemical can rarely be used as originally manufactured. The pesticide must be diluted with
water, oil, air or chemically inactive solids so that it can be handled by application equipment
and spreas evenly over the area to be treated. It includes cockroach killer.
Malunggay called Malunggay in the Phippines, Sajina in the Indian Subcontinent, and
Moringa in English, it is a popular tree. It grows wildly in a hot tropical climate. Both the
leaves and fruits are very nutritious, which contain many vitamins like Vitamin C and other
minerals.
Chili, the name, which is spelled differently in many regionschili, chile and chilli. The term chili
in most of the world refers exclusively to the smaller hot types of capsicum. It is a hot pepper.
Even though chilis maybe though as vegetable, their culinary usage is, a generally spice, the
part of the plant that is usually harvested is the fruit.
The researcher conducted the study to find out if the malunggay leaves and chilli fruit could
be utilized as a pesticide. And determines the effect of malunggay leaves and chilli fruit to the
cockroach.
Statement of the Problem:
This study lies to find out the feasibility of malunggay leaves and chilli fruit as
pesticide.(cockroach killer).
1.Is there a difference on the effect of malunggay leaves and chilli fruit and the commercial
pesticides in terms of:
a.QUALITY
b.ODOR
c.EFFECTIVITY/EFFECT
Hypothesis:
NULL HYPOTHESIS
There is no significant difference between the malunggay leaves and chilli fruit
pesticide and the commercial pesticide.
OPERATIONAL HYPOTHESIS
There is significant difference between the malunggay leaves and chilli fruit pesticide
to the commercial pesticide.
Significance of the Study:
Cockroaches are one of the pests in the country that carries bacteria to people. They
give people diseases as well as it can harm and suffer from these diseases and causes death.
So people must kill cockroach.
On the other hand malunggay leaves and chilli fruit is also a good source of pesticide like
capsaicin, rubefacient, sulphur-containing amino acids and others. Hot chillies makes effective
the pesticide and it helps.
Thus this study was conducted to utilize malunggay and chilli as necessary components to kill
cockroach rather than just ignoring it.
Scope and Limitation:
The study was limited on what kind of pests will be used it is only the cockroach. It is
also limited the expiration date of the malunggay leaves and chili fruit pesticide because it
take days or weeks to produce a bad smell.
Definition of Terms:
CAPSAICIM- is an active component of chilli. It is an irritant for mammals including human,
and producing a sensation of the pancreas of mice.
RUBEFACIENT- is an active component of malunggay leaves. A substance for external
application that produces a redness of the skin by causing dilation of capillaries and increase
blood circulation.
METHIONINE and CYSTINE- an amino acid. One of the sulphur containing proteinogenic
amino acids.
PESTICIDE- chemicals that kill plants or animals. It must be diluted with water, oil, air or
chemically inactive solids.
COCKROACH KILLER- chemicals that can kill cockroaches.
CHAPTER 2: REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE:
PESTICIDE
The Pesticide is a broad term that refers to any device, method, or chemicals that kill
plants or animals that compete for humanitys food supply or are otherwise undesirable.
Other pesticides such as derria, quassia, and tar oil followed but nineteenth-century were
weak.
PESTICIDE FORMULATIONS
A Pesticide chemical can rarely be used as originally manufactured. The pesticide must
be diluted with water, oil, air or chemically inactive solids so that it can be handled by
application equipment and spreas evenly over the area to be treated. A single pesticide is
often sold in several different formulations. The applicator should choose the formulation
that will best hs requirements for a particular job. Considerations in making choice include
effectiveness against the pests, habits of the pest, animal or surface to be protected. The final
product is called a pesticide formulation and is ready to use either as packaged or diluted
with water or other carriers.
MALUNGGAY LEAVES AND CHILI FRUIT
Malunggay also known as Horseradish Malunggay in Philippines, Sajina in the
Indian Subcontinent, and Moringain English, it is a popular tree. It grows very wildly in a
hot tropical climate. Both the leaves and fuits are very nutritious, which may contain many
vitamins like Vitamin C and other minerals. It contains the properties of galactagogue,
rubefacient, antiscorcutic, diuretic, stimulant, purgative, antibiotic and antifugal. Malunggay
is a good source of pesticide because it contain rubefacient. It is an active component of
malunggay leaves. A substance for external application that produces a redness of the skin by
causing dilation of capillaries and increase blood circulation.
Chili, is which is spelled differently in many regions chilli, chile, and chilli. The term chilli in
most of the world refers exclusively to the smaller hot types of capsaicim. It is a hot pepper.
Eventhough chilis maybe though as vegetable, their culinary usage is, a generally spice, the
part of the plant that is usually harvested is the fruit. Researchers used capsaicim from chillies
to kill the nerve cells in the pancreas of mice. And Chili also contains hotness which can kill
cockroaches.
MANUFACTURING PESTICIDE:
Manufacturing pesticide involves at least three separate activities. The active ingredients is
first synthesize in a chemical factory, then formulated in the same plants or sent toa
formulator, to prepare a liquid or powder form. Synthesizing the pesticide is a complex
chemical procedure. An emulsified formulation is usually concentrated to render transport
casier, but granulated and dry pesticides are ready to use.
CHAPTER 3: METHODOLOGY
Materials
Ingredients
*10 stalks of malunggay leaves
*20 pieces of chilli fruit
*100 ml distilled water
Method of Research and Procedure:
Method of Research
The method of research in this study was experimental method of research. The purpose was
to study the relative effect of various set-ups:
SET-UP A: The extract of the malunggay leaves
SET-UP B: The extract of the chili fruit
SET-UP C: The mixture of the extract of the malunggay leaves and the The extract of the chili
fruit.
Method of Collecting Data:
The method of collecting data was a comparative survey. It was mainly concerned only on the
effect of the cockroach between the malunggay leaves and chilli frit pesticide and the
commercial pesticides. Researchers used the counting method. To count how many
cockroaches eas unable to survive and die.
Research Design:
Common cockroaches are living outside or in sewers and come into houses. Cockroaches ar
generally found first or either the attic or basements. Cockraoach carries a lot of bacteria that
can give us diseases. Cockroach also distribute germs to entire of the house, especially into
the kitchen. Cockroach is a pest that give people diseases. The Malunggay leaves and Chili
fruit is an independent variable while the pesticide is the dependent variable.
