CHAPTER I
RATIONALE
Today, we can clearly see the slow killing of Mother nature. Destructions
areeverywhere. Air, water and even land pollution. We have no escape. As
students,we should be aware of what is happening in our environment and society
and dosomething, in our smallest little ways, to help preserve our only home. We
aregiven an Investigatory Project or an IP in our Physics class to somehow lessen
our environmental problem. Our assigned project to be investigated is the
Homemadeor Natural Insecticide. We all know, that our Ozone layer is getting
thinner andthinner every time because of the chemicals we use daily. Now, to
lessen the problem in our Ozone layer, we are going to study about the use of
naturalinsecticides that are CFC-free. We can not only protect and help preserve our
environment, we can also be sure that our plants and crops are healthy too.
Here,we will give you an overview of what a
Natural Insecticide
really is.A
Natural Insecticide is a
Chemical or biological substance designed tokillor retard the growth of

system by not putting man-made chemicals into the dirt and air. You can helpreduce
the negative effect on the ozone layer by doing your part to help nature. Inour
modern technology today, you can look on the internet for the most trusted
andsafest ways of making a Natural Insecticide.There are many alternatives in
making a natural insecticide, in our group, we havedecided to use a Liquid soap
recipe way of creating a natural and organicinsecticide. Soap sounds harmless
enough. We wash our bodies with it, wash our dishes with it, and blow bubbles with
it. What you need are Spray bottles,Biodegradable liquid dish soap, Lemon or
orange essential oil, Cooking oil,Baking soda, Garlic, Chili powder, Water. It is as
easy as that! And it is cheaper than the synthetic ones.
Statement Of The Problem
The environmental impact of
pesticidesis often greater than what is intended bythose who use them. Over 98%
of sprayed insecticides and 95% of herbicidesreach a destination other than their
target species, including nontarget species, air,water, bottom sediments, and food.
Though there can be benefits using pesticides,inappropriate use can
counterproductively increase pest resistance and kill thenatural enemies of pests.
Pesticides can contaminate unintended land and water when they are sprayed
aerially or allowed to run off fields, or when they escapefrom production sites and
storage tanks or are inappropriately discarded.Pesticides can contribute to air
pollution.Pesticide driftoccurs when pesticidessuspended in the air as particles are
carried by wind to other areas, potentiallycontaminating them. Weather conditions
at the time of application as well astemperature and relative humidity change the
spread of the pesticide in the air. Aswind velocity increases so does the spray drift
and exposure. Also, droplets of

sprayed pesticides or particles from pesticides applied as dusts may travel on
thewind to other areas, or pesticides mayadhereto particles that blow in the
wind,such as dust particles. Ground spraying produces less pesticide drift than
aerialspraying does. Pesticides that are sprayed on to fields and used tofumigatesoil
cangive off chemicals calledvolatile organic compounds, which can react with other
chemicals and form a pollutant calledtropospheric ozone. Tropospheric ozone isa

Statement of the Hypothesis
Ahypothesisis an educated guess or proposition that attempts to explain a set of
facts or natural phenomenon. It is used mostly in the field of science,
wherethescientific methodis used to test it.In this experiment you will examine how
biopesticides compare to a synthetic pesticide. The two natural pesticides are a
spray made from chili peppers and onemade from garlic. These are commonly used
among gardeners as repellents. Withchili, it is the hot chillies that make the most
effective repellent. Garlic's strongodor can also act as a repellent. With the synthetic
insecticides, look for one thatworks against general pests, such as aphids,
caterpillars, beetles. Evidence of these pests can be seen in the holes they bore or
bits of leaves that they have munched.Aphids will leave a sticky residue on the
leaves. The synthetic pesticide productwill better prevent pests from harming the
plants than the biopesticides.
Theoretical Framework/Conceptual
Safety defines much of the home life, and pesticides do an impeccable work of
endangering it. With the influx of insecticides and anti-pest products in the
markettoday (and the easy access that comes with the trade), exposure has just
become alooming prospect. One fact of life is that apart from your family, youre
sharingyour home with a diverse array of pests: ants in the cupboard, wasps in your
sunroom, termites in the cabinets, or maybe bugs having their own little party
inyour garden.Your first instinct, of course, is to run to the store and get the most
effective pesticide out there.But little do you know that the dangers of pesticides
are much bigger than the onesyoure trying to solve. These pesticides 4.5 billion
pounds of which are usedannually as reported in 2001 tend to spread easily, stay
suspended in the air, and
