INTRODUCTION

Peer pressure is quite the controversial matter today. It is the feeling

that someone your own age is pushing you toward making a certain
choices, good or bad.(The Cool Spot). The level of peer influence
generally increases as children grow and it has become an
important influence on behavior during adolescence. Many
researches and surveys have been done to find the answer to the
question whether peer pressure is beneficial or harmful for
teenagers. While Karcher &Finn (2005) claimed that peer pressure is
the biggest factor result in bad behavious of adolescents; Bukowski
(1998) and Salvy (2011) argued that pressure from peers can bring
amazing benefits for them. The following writing will discuss peer
pressure and from then show that peer pressure can also good for
teenagers, too. Many people, including researchers and
psychologists,… Over the world, the Pemphigus betae has a complicated and
variable life cycle, and it is normally heteroecious and holocyclic. Aphid infestations can result in
considerable yield, sugar content, and recoverable sugar losses. Accurately establishing
population densities for root aphids presents a challenge, because the economic important stage
of this insect is subterranean. The application of a fall root rating index, on the other hand, can
help estimate relative population densities. Furthermore, root aphids are particularly difficult to
eradicate with traditional insecticides. For this reason, integrated pest management tactics,
including the use of host plant resistance, cultural control techniques, and the use of natural
enemies, should take precedence. (Pretorius et. al 2016). Urtica dioica (stinging nettle) is a
perennial plant in the Urticaceae family that belongs to the genus Urtica. Although nettle's usage
in folk veterinary medicine is extensively documented, U.S. Today, dioica is an underappreciated
and frequently overlooked plant, regarded by modern agriculture as a weed to be eradicated. This
brief overview focuses on recent research on the administration of U. dioica, either alone or in
combination with other herbs, has been shown to boost growth and boost immune in farmed fish,
making them more resistant to bacterial illnesses. This new trait, together with the herb's cost-
effectiveness, ample availability, and ease of processing, could make nettle a great, low-cost, and
extensively utilized dietary supplement on intensive fish farms. (De Vico et. al, 2018).
In the Philippines, the most popular nettle species that are used to make nettle tea is
Urtica dioica commonly known as nettle or Lipang-aso in Tagalog, is a particularly undervalued
plant in the Philippines. Since it is considered a weed and contains stinging hairs, it is usually
uprooted or avoided. However, it has been used traditionally in the Philippines as remedy for
muscle pains, carbuncles, asthma and cough. (de Guzman et. al, 2015).
This study aims to make Urtica Dioica as an alternative insecticide instead of
commercially available ones that are harmful and poisonous compounds that may adversely
affect other organisms besides harmful insects. We researchers believe that this study will help us
to explore the quantitative aphicidal effect of using Urtica Dioica extract on Pemphigus betae.
Aside from this, we also believe that this will help us differentiate the aphicidal effect of using
Urtica Dioica extract on Pemphigus beta from other insecticides.
