CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study:

The Pesticide is a broad term that refers to any device, method, or chemicals that kill plants
or animals that compete for humanity’s food supply or are otherwise undesirable. A pesticide
chemical can rarely be used as originally manufactured. The pesticide must be diluted with
water, oil, air or chemically inactive solids so that it can be handled by application equipment
and spreas evenly over the area to be treated. It includes cockroach killer.

Malunggay called “Malunggay” in the Phippines, “Sajina” in the Indian Subcontinent, and
“Moringa” in English, it is a popular tree. It grows wildly in a hot tropical climate. Both the
leaves and fruits are very nutritious, which contain many vitamins like Vitamin C and other
minerals.

Chili, the name, which is spelled differently in many regions Chili, Chile and Chilli. The term
chili in most of the world refers exclusively to the smaller hot types of capsicum. It is a hot
pepper. Even though chilis maybe though as vegetable, their culinary usage is, a generally
spice, the part of the plant that is usually harvested is the fruit.

The researcher conducted the study to find out if the malunggay leaves and chilli fruit could
be utilized as a pesticide. And determines the effect of malunggay leaves and chilli fruit to
the cockroach.
Statement of the Problem:

This study lies to find out the feasibility of malunggay leaves and chilli fruit as
pesticide.(cockroach killer).

1.Is there a difference on the effect of malunggay leaves and chilli fruit and the commercial
pesticides in terms of:

a. QUALITY

b. ODOR

c. EFFECTIVITY/EFFECT

Hypothesis:

NULL HYPOTHESIS

There is no significant difference between the malunggay leaves and chilli fruit pesticide and
the commercial pesticide.

OPERATIONAL HYPOTHESIS

There is significant difference between the malunggay leaves and chilli fruit pesticide to the
commercial pesticide.

Significance of the Study:

Cockroaches are one of the pests in the country that carries bacteria to people. They give
people diseases as well as it can harm and suffer from these diseases and causes death. So
people must kill cockroach.

On the other hand malunggay leaves and chilli fruit is also a good source of pesticide like
capsaicin, rubefacient, sulphur-containing amino acids and others. Hot chillies makes
effective the pesticide and it helps.

Thus this study was conducted to utilize malunggay and chilli as necessary components to
kill cockroach rather than just ignoring it.

Scope and Limitation:

The study was limited on what kind of pests will be used it is only the cockroach. It is also
limited the expiration date of the malunggay leaves and chili fruit pesticide because it take
days or weeks to produce a bad smell.
Definition of Terms:

CAPSAICIM- is an active component of chilli. It is an irritant for mammals including human,

and producing a sensation of the pancreas of mice.

RUBEFACIENT- is an active component of malunggay leaves. A substance for external

application that produces a redness of the skin by causing dilation of capillaries and increase
blood circulation.

METHIONINE and CYSTINE- an amino acid. One of the sulphur – containing proteinogenic
amino acids.

PESTICIDE- chemicals that kill plants or animals. It must be diluted with water, oil, air or
chemically inactive solids.

COCKROACH KILLER- chemicals that can kill cockroaches.

CHAPTER 2: REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE:

PESTICIDE

The Pesticide is a broad term that refers to any device, method, or chemicals that kill plants
or animals that compete for humanity’s food supply or are otherwise undesirable. Other
pesticides such as derria, quassia, and tar oil followed but nineteenth-century were weak.

PESTICIDE FORMULATIONS

A Pesticide chemical can rarely be used as originally manufactured. The pesticide must be
diluted with water, oil, air or chemically inactive solids so that it can be handled by
application equipment and spreas evenly over the area to be treated. A single pesticide is
often sold in several different formulations. The applicator should choose the formulation that
will best hs requirements for a particular job. Considerations in making choice include
effectiveness against the pests, habits of the pest, animal or surface to be protected. The final
product is called a pesticide formulation and is ready to use either as packaged or diluted with
water or other carriers.

MALUNGGAY LEAVES AND CHILI FRUIT

Malunggay also known as Horseradish “Malunggay” in Philippines, “Sajina” in the Indian

Subcontinent, and “Moringa”in English, it is a popular tree. It grows very wildly in a hot
tropical climate. Both the leaves and fuits are very nutritious, which may contain many
vitamins like Vitamin C and other minerals. It contains the properties of galactagogue,
rubefacient, antiscorcutic, diuretic, stimulant, purgative, antibiotic and antifugal. Malunggay
is a good source of pesticide because it contain rubefacient. It is an active component of
malunggay leaves. A substance for external application that produces a redness of the skin by
causing dilation of capillaries and increase blood circulation.

Even though chilis maybe though as vegetable, their culinary usage is, a generally spice, the
part of the plant that is usually harvested is the fruit. Researchers used capsaicim from
chillie`s

to kill the nerve cells in the pancreas of mice. And Chili also contains hotness which can kill
cockroaches.

MANUFACTURING PESTICIDE:

Manufacturing pesticide involves at least three separate activities. The active ingredients is
first synthesize in a chemical factory, then formulated in the same plants or sent to a
formulator, to prepare a liquid or powder form. Synthesizing the pesticide is a complex
chemical procedure. An emulsified formulation is usually concentrated to render transport
casier, but granulated and dry pesticides are ready to use.

CHAPTER 3: METHODOLOGY

Ingredients

 10 stalks of malunggay leaves

 20 pieces of chilli fruit
 100 ml distilled water

Method of Research and Procedure:

Method of Research

The method of research in this study was experimental method of research. The purpose was
to study the relative effect of various set-ups:

SET-UP A: The extract of the malunggay leaves

SET-UP B: The extract of the chili fruit

SET-UP C: The mixture of the extract of the malunggay leaves and the The extract of the
chili fruit.

Method of Collecting Data:

The method of collecting data was a comparative survey. It was mainly concerned only on
the effect of the cockroach between the malunggay leaves and chilli frit pesticide and the
commercial pesticides. Researchers used the counting method. To count how many
cockroaches eas unable to survive and die.

Research Design:

Common cockroaches are living outside or in sewers and come into houses. Cockroaches ar
generally found first or either the attic or basements. cockroach carries a lot of bacteria that
can give us diseases. Cockroach also distribute germs to entire of the house, especially into
the kitchen. Cockroach is a pest that give people diseases. The Malunggay leaves and Chili
fruit is an independent variable while the pesticide is the dependent variable.
CHAPTER 4: RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

This chapter shows the investigation of Malunggay leaves and Chili fruit as pesticide. The
data was shown in tabular form. There are five tables that are shown.

TRIAL 1

Picture 1: Cockroach tested with Malunggay leaves Pesticide

In the first table, Malunggay Pesticide was used by the researcher. There are two tables
consisting of 3 cockroaches and a constant number time of spray. The cockroach didn’t die in
the 2 times number of spray therefore it is less effective.

Picture 2: Cockroach tested with Chili fruit Pesticide

In the second table, the cockroach was tested with Chili fruit Pesticide.It is effective.

Picture 3: Cockroach tested with Malunggay leaves and Chili fruit Pesticide

In the third table, the Malunggay leaves and Chili fruit Pesticide was used by the researcher.It is
more effective than the second table and the first table.
TRIAL 2

Picture 1: Cockroach tested with Malunggay leaves Pesticide

In the first table, Malunggay Pesticide was used by the researcher. There are two tables
consisting of 3 cockroaches and a constant number time of spray. The cockroach didn’t die in
the 2 times number of spray therefore it is less effective.

Picture2: Cockroach tested with Chili fruit Pesticide

In the second table, the cockroach was tested with Chili fruit Pesticide.It shows the effectivity
of the Chili Fruit.

Picture 3: Cockroach tested with Malunggay leaves and Chili fruit Pesticide

In the third table, the Malunggay leaves and Chili fruit Pesticide was used by the researcher.It
is effective if the two substances are mixed together.
CHAPTER 5: CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

CONCLUSION

The researcher therefore conclude that the Malunggay leaves (Moringa Oleifera) and Chili
fruit (Capsisum Frutescens) is feasible in making pesticide in this experimentation.

RECOMMENDATION

The researcher would like to recommend more study about the malunggay and chili as
pesticide and accurate procedure and measures will be used.
