PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA

This part of the study includes presentation, analysis and interpretation of

data on the effectiveness of Neem leaves and Lemongrass solution against

Drosophilia melanogaster (Fruit Flies) on Psidium guajava (Guava). Also,

attached here are the statistics and graphs.

 This table shows the data on the number of fruit flies on various

treatments prior to treatment data.

Table 2. Number of repelled fruit flies twenty-four (24) hours after the application
of treatment.

Treatment R1 R2 R3
Distilled water 1 2 1
Trial 1 (1:1) neem leaves 0 0 0

Trial 2 (1:2) neem leaves 0 0 0
and lemongrass solution
Trial 3 (2:1) neem leaves 0 0 0
and lemongrass solution
Commercial pesticides 0 0 0

The table shows that Treatment 1 (distilled water) has no progress in

repelling the pest. It is seen that all the concentration has repelled fruit flies like

the commercial pesticide.

Table 3. Number of eradicated fruit flies forty-eight (48) hours after the
application of treatment.

Treatment R1 R2 R3
Distilled water 2 2 1
Trial 1 (1:1) neem leaves 0 0 0

Trial 2 (1:2) neem leaves 0 0 0
and lemongrass solution
Trial 3 (2:1) neem leaves 0 0 0
and lemongrass solution
Commercial pesticides 0 0 0

The result shows that the three concentrations including the commercial

pesticide has effectively repelled fruit flies on guava plant.

Table 4. Number eradicated fruit flies seventy-two (72) hours after the application
of treatment.

Treatment R1 R2 R3
Distilled water 1 2 1
Trial 1 (1:1) neem leaves 0 0 0

Trial 2 (1:2) neem leaves 0 0 0
and lemongrass solution
Trial 3 (2:1) neem leaves 0 0 0
and lemongrass solution
Commercial pesticides 0 0 0

This table shows that the three concentration has still repelled fruit flies

after seventy-two (72) hours of treatment application.

solution at different concentrations

(1:2) neem leaves and lemongrass solution 0 0 0 0
(2:1) neem leaves and lemongrass solution 0 0 0 0

This table shows that after twenty- four (24), forty-eight (48), and seventy-

two (72) hours of application, all the neem and lemongrass concentration has

effectively repelled fruit flies.

Table 6. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) for the different concentration of neem

and lemongrass solution.

The data shows that the F value is higher than the critical value of F.

Hence, there is a sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a significant

difference in the mean scores of different ratios of neem and lemongrass

concentration.

The table shows that commercial pesticide has a mean score of 0 while
(1:1) ratio of neem and lemongrass concentration has a mean score of 0.
