Investigation about tuba-tuba (jatropha curcas) and garlic bulb as a cockroaches killer

THE PURPOSE OF THE REPORT PROJECT IS TO DETERMINE THE EFFIENCY OF TUBA-TUBA(JATHROPA CURCAS)AND GARLIC BULB TO KILL COCKROACHES.

Extract tuba-tuba oil mixed with garlic juice can effectively kill cockroach. This same mixture possesses the same effectiveness against cockroaches as do commercial brands.

1. To provide a more affordable cockroach killer that will benefit Filipino consumers. 2. As an alternative insecticides compared to the common brands. 3. To support Filipino people start their own business without big investment.

To inform everyone that tuba-tuba (jatropha curcas) is useful and plays a important role in our environment and not only a dangerous plant.

The trees produce 1600 liters of oil per hectare. The cakes remaining after the oil is pressed out can be used for cooking, for fertilizing, and sometimes even as animal fodder, while the seed husks can be used to fuel generators. Large plantings and nurseries of this tree have been undertaken in India by women's Self Help Groups, using a system of microcredit to ease poverty among the nation's semi-literate population of women. Extracts from this species have also been shown to have anti-tumor activity. The seeds can be used as a remedy for constipation, wounds can be dressed with the sap, and the leaves can be boiled to obtain a malaria and fever remedy.

 Originating in the Caribbean, the jatropha was spread as a valuable hedge plant to Africa and Asia by Portuguese traders. Currently the tree is widely used for getting biodiesel in India, and is being promoted as a very easy to grow biofuel crop in hundreds of projects throughout India and the third world. The rail line between Mumbai and Delhi is planted with Jatropha and the train itself runs on 15-20% biodiesel. The mature small trees bear male and female inflorescence, and do not grow very tall.

 In Zambia the Jatropha plant is alredy used for live fencing in some provinces (Eastern, Western, Northern), but in most of the country it only exists in spots and is used as an ornamental plant. An exploitation in a larger scale is just starting. South of Fianantsoa Jatropha oil is produced traditionnally forhaircosmetics. This is a very time and energy consuming process: 12 hours of work instaed of 1 hour with the handpress.

 Tubang Bakod in Tagalog, Physic Nut in English or interchangeably tuba-tuba or Jatropha. The latest craze to hit the agri-business in the Philippines. Primarily for its oil to produce biodiesel. The Tubatuba has been planted in the Philippines for quite some time but it was used mainly as fencing since it animals do not eat the leaves -even the insatiable goat would not eat the leaves. The ever increasing price of petroleum prices has triggered interest on the Tubatuba or Jatropha.

 Workshop on adding value to agricultural products in Tanzania Small food processing enterprises, particularly in rural areas, can help to retain a larger share of the value added in the food chain in rural economies. This can generate employment and higher income. However, small scale, rural-based food processing is still poorly developed in most African countries. Potential and interested entrepreneurs are facing a number of obstacles on the way to establishing a food processing enterprise. Besides the processing of edible oils the processing of Jatropha is also part of the programme.

 Jatropha in Papua New Guinea, some remarks concerning the project activities: The project supports a manufacturer in the development of a press and the project underwrites part of the costs of training people to make soap. Jatropha is one of the oils used but coconut and various tree nuts are also used. Both caustic soda and lye water are used The coconut cake is used for poultry feed. The manufacturer has the incentive to encourage oil processing activities as he then sells more presses. Initial training and demonstrations have resulted in his first orders.
