Insect icides & Repellents

Use t hese natural insecticides to repel and eliminate harmful

pests. The following categories of products use botanicals or
plant extracts that are applied to plant foliage. Natural
insecticides combat insects upon contact or through ingestion.
Use as part of an Integrated Pest Management program w hich
includes traps for monitoring and capturing pests and beneficial
insects and organism s to control pests in their developing
stages. Enhancing fertility programs with natural fertilizers and
soil amendments will increase plants' health and resistance to
all types of pests in your home or garden including weeds and
diseases.
Research Methodology

Materials:

Chopping Board Ginger and 4 spraybottles

Vinegar
Knife Measuring Cups
Water and Spoons
Procedure

Collect or prepare the materials needed.Chop t he

ginger.Put 3 tablespoons of the chopped ginger ins ide the
4 s pray bottles evenly.In the ls1s pray bottle pour 2 cups of
vinegar inside, in the 2nd s pray bottle add 2 cups of vinegar
and Y2 cup of water,in t he 3rdspray bottle put 2 cups
vinegar and 1cup of water, and in the 41h bottle put 2 cups
of vinegar and 1Y2 cup of water.After putting the
ingredients in each perspective bottle t ry several t rials in
your garden.Find out which is the more effective among
t he t rials.Record your observation.
Scope of the Study

Vinegar is a liquid substance consisting mainly of acetic ac id

and w ater,the acetic acid being produced through the
fermentation of et hanol by acetic acid bacteria. It is today
mainly used in the kitchen as a general cooking ingredient, but
historically, as t he most eas ily available mild acid,it had a great
variety of industrial,medical,and domestic uses, some of w hich
(s uch as a general household cleanser) are still promoted today.
Commercial vinegar is produced either by fast or s low
fermentation processes. In general,slow methods are used
with traditional vinegars, and fermentat ion proceeds slow ly
over the course of weeks or months. The longer fermentation
period allows for t he accumulat ion of a nontoxic slime
composed of acetic acid bacteria. Fast methods add mother of
vinegar to the source liquid before adding air us ing a venturi
pump system or a turbine to promote oxygenation to obtain
the fas test fermentation. In fast production processes, vinegar
may be produced in a period ranging from 20 hours to three
days. And ginger or ginger root is the rhizome of the plant
Zingiberofficinale,cons umed as a delicacy, medicine, or spice. It
lends its name to its genus and family (Zingiberaceae). Other
notable members of t his plant family are turmeric, cardamom,
and galangal. These two studies come up to make an organic
insect killer.

Delimitations of the Study

The delimitations of the researchers st udy is that the study

couldn't be made more effective since the time given was n't
enough. If there was more time t he researchers would have t he
advantage of making more ex periments on the study. And also
we couldn't test it on other insects since we couldn't find any
other insects.
Definition of Terms

Insect icides- are a pesticide used against insect s. They include

ovicides and larvicides used against the eggs and larvae of
insects respectively. Insecticides are used in agriculture,
medicine, industry and t he household.The use of insecticides is
believed to be one of the major factors behind t he increase in
agricult ural productivity in the 20th century. Nearly all
insecticides have the potent ial to significantly alter ecosystem s;
many are toxic to humans;and others are concentrated in the
food chain.

Ginger - or ginger root is the rhizome of t he plant

Zingiberofficinale,cons umed as a delicacy, medicine, or spice. It
lends its name to its genus and family (Zingiberaceae). Other
notable members of t his plant family are turmeric, cardam om,
and galangal.

Vinegar- is a liquid s ubstance cons isting mainly of acetic acid

and w ater,the acetic acid being produced through t he
fermentation of et hanol by acetic acid bacteria.

Summary of Findings

In this project the researchers have formulated an organic

insecticide which is effective on all sorts of insects. In the
research we have done we have come to this point which we
have learned and discovered that w hat we have made is very
much effective. T he trials and research proves that t his product
can be of good use especially on your garden. With this organic
insecticide you can now take care of your garden the natural
way without us ing those other insecticides that contain tox ic
chemicals which can help lessen your problem towards those
insects but can also destroy or environment. Because of t his
product you can now protect your garden from certain insects
but you can also lessen the problem of our environment
because of this product.
Recommendation

More than 1,000 Filipino people die in a year because of

dengue. This has been a big issue in our society, specially, on
the health of our young once that has been resolve. Now, the
time has come to s lowly put and to this deadly insects. Now
invent ion has occurred to be made to reduce the population of
dengue caus ing mosquitos.

We would like to recommend our newest contribution to our

society to reduce and may avoid the cause of dengue. We
recommend t his product not only to our fellow students but
also to everyone so t hat they could use t his as an alternative for
mosquito repellent, rather t han us ing tox ic insecticide. Since
this is easy to make and it is not harmful to our health for it is
made out of vinegar and ginger.

Easy to make,cheaper than the others, good for the health and
environmental friendly, that is what our vinegar and ginger
insecticide repellent is. ltis proven to be effective and quality
base as well.

Apple Cider

Apple cider vinegar, otherw ise known s im ply as cider vinegar or

ACV, is made from cider or apple must, and as a brow nish-
yellow color. It often is solid unfiltered and unpasteurized w ith

its acidity, a pple c ider vinegar may be very harsh,even burning,
to the throat. If taken straight,(as opposed to used Icooking},it
can be diluted before drinking. It is also taken somet imes
sweetened with sugar or honey. There have been reports of
acid chemical burns of the throat from apple cider vinegar w as
in fac t an ingredient in the evaluated products. The pH of apple
cider vinegar is typically between pH 4.25 and 5.00 if undiluted.

Balsamic vinegar is an aromatic,aged type of vinegar traditionally

product availableto only the Italian upper classes, a cheaper form of
balsamic vinegar beca me widely known and available around the world
in the late 201h century. True balsamic vinegar (which has Protected
Designation of Origin status) is aged for 12 to 15 years . Balsamic
vinegars that have been aged for up to 100 years are available,though
they are usually very expensive .
Luyais an erect, smooth pla nt arising from thickened,very aromatic
rootstocks . Leafy stems are 0.4 to 1meter high. Leaves are distichous,
lanceolate to linear-lanceolate, !5 to 25 cm long, and 2cm wide or less.
Sea pe arising from the rootstock is erect, 15-25 cm high, covered with
distant imbricate bracts. Spike is ovoid to ellipsoid,about 5cm long.
Bracts are ovate,cuspidate,and about 2.5 cm long,and pale green.
Calyx is 1cm long,or less. Corolla is greenish yellow with a tube less
than 2 cm long;while the tip is oblong-obovate and slightly purpulish.
