INTRODUCTION:

Aspergillus is a fungus that causes

mold on many crops around the
world. This fungus can cause
problems in the Pacific, particularly
when coconuts is damaged by
insects, or when copra is not dried
effectively (Ana Buli et al, 2018)
INTERVENTION/EXPERIMENTATION:
NOVEMBER 16, 2022 – DECEMBER 10,
2022

CONDUCTED AT ZONE 4

1KG GARLIC, 100, ML

ETHANOL

THE COCONUTS WERE APPLIED

WITH THE EXTRACT WHILE
BEING DRIED UNDER THE SUN

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION:
TABLE 1 “Is the Garlic Extract Effective?,
Which set up is the most effective one?”

2
TABLE is the result of the second problem,
“Is there a significant difference among the
control and experimental set ups?”
CONCLUSION:

Since the tables, data and

experimentations had a
significant difference and proved
that its effective, it is concluded
for this study that the garlic
extract is effective in preventing
the growth of molds.
 RECOMMENDATION:
1. It is well recommended for future studies, to try to

lessen the smell of the garlic on the extract.

2. It is well recommended for future studies, to not let the

coconuts get wet with other substances during

experimentation

3. It is recommended for future studies, to let the coconuts

dry under the sun after the application of the extracts.
