CHILI AND ORANGE PEEL EXTRACTS AS EFFECTIVE ORGANIC

INSECTICIDE

I.INTRODUCTION
A. Background of The Study
Now A days, one of our greatest problems is the pests that destroys our Crops. They
cause a lot of troubles. Aside from they eat the farmers crops for which we get our
foods for us to survive from starvation, they also made the farmers work more difficult
which for them is a very big problem.

B. Statement of The Problem

This study aims to know how effective chili and orange peels oil is, as an organic
insecticide, this study sought to answer the following question such as:

Is This Organic Insecticide Effective than the Commercial Organic Insecticide?

Will This Study decrease the Farmers Problems dealing with Pests?
C. Significance of the study

The People who will Benefit from the researchers study are Farmers Because they will
be able to get rid of the pesticide that destroy their crops and they will be able to save a
lot of money because they do not need to buy expensive Insecticide in order to get rid of
the Pests and the Organic Insecticide we made can cause no harm to Humans and to
Nature. Secondly Us, The Farmers Can Benefit from this study that The Researchers
conduct because the foods are highly needed now a days and The People are lacking
stocks of food because of pests eating the crops, if this study that the Researchers
conduct be recognized, there will be 95% chance that the food stocks food will increase.

D. Scope an Limitations of the study

The study focuses mainly on the effectiveness of orange peel extract together with the
extract of the chili. The Researchers tried to determine which of these two proponents is
more effective in killing pests because their population keeps increasing.

The Researchers conducted their study at Damilag Manolo Fortich Bukidnon, wherein
they prepare the chili and the Orange Peels Oil extract for making an organic
Insecticide. The Researchers have been brainstorming about the flow of their
Investigatory Project. Through experimentation, the group has been analyzing the data
on how Chili and Orange Peels extract make a good mixture as an effective organic
Insecticide.

Chilies are a lot more familiar in their red colors, the fruit-like veggies are very common
in South America such as Mexico, Brazil, and many more.

Because of the spicy flavor of the chilies, we come to think of it that this will be a good
insecticide for plants, we assume that this organic Insecticide yet others globally
completive to other insecticide products.

There are also other studies that show chilies are effective Insecticide. But as we go
broader about this, we come up with another ingredient that would strengthen the
insecticide products. This is the orange oil which is extracted from orange peel. We
assume that the orange Peel contains liquid with fresh scent smell that would effective
for the better life.

II. Review of literature and conceptual framework

A. Review of literature
Chilies or chili pepper are dried berry fruits a (0.7-3.0 cm long, 0.3- 1.0 cm wide) of a

The term spice is use to refer to plant parts which serve to improve the odor and
flavor of foods. They contain essential oils and other ingredients which have a strong
seasoning action.

Spices are processed, cleaned, graded and carefully package for overseas dispatch
in the countries where they are cultivated. They are died to preserve them for transport
and storage. In consumer countries, they are delivered to spice mills, where they are
cleaned and graded again, ready for sale in unground or ground form.
