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

peststhatdamageor interfere with the growth of crops,shrubs, trees, timber and

other vegetation desired by humans. This is the bestsubstitute to synthetic
insecticides that can harm our planet. A synthetic insecticidecan contain poisons
and toxins that are not found in a natural insecticide. These can be harmful to living
things other than the insects they were intended for. Syntheticchemical insecticides
often contain ingredients that kill beneficial insects. Theseinsects may be bees that
pollinate fruits and vegetables. They may be ladybugs or butterflies, which are also
helpful to have in a garden. A natural insecticide will probably leave beneficial
insects safe. Organic gardening is accomplished byavoiding the use of laboratorymade fertilizers, growth substances, antibiotics, or pesticides. This means using
nature's tools to grow your plants, fruits, andvegetables. It's a way of being kinder
to the earth. Using natural insecticides is a part of that process and has grown in
popularity. If done properly, it costs less. If you learn to grown or produce your own
insecticides, you're also aiding the eco-

4
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

5
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

greenhouse gasand initiates the chemical removal of

methaneandother hydrocarbonsfrom the atmosphere. Pesticide residues have also

been foundin rain and groundwater. Studies showed that pesticide concentrations
exceededthose allowable for drinking water in some samples of river water
andgroundwater. There are four major routes through which pesticides reach
thewater: it may drift outside of the intended area when it is sprayed, it may
percolate,or leach, through the soil, it may be carried to the water as runoff, or it
may bespilled, for example accidentally or through neglect. They may also be
carried towater byeroding soil. Factors that affect a pesticide's ability to
contaminate water include its water solubility, the distance from an application site
to a body of water,weather, soil type, presence of a growing crop, and the method
used to apply thechemical. The use of pesticides also decreases the general
biodiversityin the soil.Many of the chemicals used in pesticides are persistentsoil
contaminants, whoseimpact may endure for decades and adversely affectsoil
conservation. Degradationand sorption are both factors which influence the
persistence of pesticides in soil.Depending on the chemical nature of the pesticide,
such processes control directlythe transportation from soil to water, and in turn to
air and our food.In this project, we aim to help reduce and stop this poisoning to
species, organismsand other elements that are threatened including the risk of
human health becauseof synthetic insecticides.

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
