Fungicidal ability of Avocado (Persea Americana) leaf extract to kill the fungus

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

that causes Athlete's Foot, associated with coconut oil (Cocos Nucifera) as its
extracting liquid.

This investigation revealed that the fungicidal ability of the avocado was most effective with the
use of coconut oil as extracting liquid. Therefore, he recommended that athlete's foot sufferers
use a mixture of avocado leaves and coconut oil for curing. The study also demonstrates that the
fungus was not resistant to the avocado leaf extract. The study shows the comparison of
numerical data obtained with the obtained numerical data of the control setup consisting coconut
oil as the only inhibitory material. Coconut oil is one of the most often utilized natural remedy
products. This product is a miracle worker when it comes to foot fungus. Coconut oil's fatty
acids act as natural fungicides, forcing fungal membranes to break down and clear.
Consequently, this information is useful to those who are suffering from athlete's foot.

SCOPE AND DELIMITATION

This study focuses on the fungicidal ability of avocado leaves extract

and coconut oil as killers of the fungus causing athlete's foot. The
investigation is limited to the use of Avocado leaves extract, coconut
oil, distilled water, ethyl alcohol, and acetone. The researcher was
interested to know the fungicidal ability of the avocado leaves
extract and it's effect the the fungus causing athlete's foot. Fungus is
not showing resistance to the extract meaning it will greatly help.
Based on the investigation avocado was most effective with the use

of coconut oil as its extracting liquid. The intervention would offer
big gains as the two act as natural fungicides.
Definition of Terms
Agar Disc Diffusion Method
-is one method for quantifying the ability of antibiotics to inhibit bacterial
growth. Interpretation of results from this assay relies on model-dependent
analysis, which is based on the assumption that antibiotics diffuse freely in
the solid nutrient medium.

Athlete's Foot
-also known as tinea pedis, is a fungal skin infection that typically starts
between the toes. It causes a scaly, itchy rash that may have painful or
burning sensations.

Zone of Inhibition
-(also known as the Kirby-Bauer Test, Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test, Disk
Diffusion Test or Agar Diffusion Test) is a quick way to assess the
antimicrobial activity of a material or solution in relation to a target
microorganism.

LEARNED
 What is the
No. 1

significance of a
research problem?
A research problem is the preliminary
step in conducting a research study. It
helps you understand the research
procedure in a better manner and helps
you formulate that sequence. Research
problem also helps you avoid
unnecessary steps during the research.
 The scope describes the coverage of the
study. It specifies what is covered

in terms of concept, number of subjects or

the population included in the study, as well
as the timeline when the study was
conducted.The delimitations of a study are
the factors and variables not to be included
in the investigation.

What is the relevance

of defining the terms
in research

The relevance of defining your words in research is to guarantee that you

and your readers comprehend the components of your study in the
manner in which you will present them, because you and your readers may
have different interpretations of the terms or may not be familiar with
them at all.
