The Effectiveness of Dried Carabao Manure

The document discusses an experimental study on using dried carabao manure with calamansi extract as an alternative insect repellent. It aims to determine the effectiveness of calamansi extract as a natural and cheaper alternative to commercial insect repellents. The study seeks to answer how long the natural repellent remains effective in killing insects. If shown to work, this could help address financial burdens and environmental pollution from widespread chemical insecticide use.

TRIZZIA ELLAINE L. SINGSON

RESEARCH STUDY

INTEGRATED LABORATORY SCHOOLS Laboratory High School Science Curriculum MARIANO MARCOS STATE UNIVERSITY Batac City 2906, Ilocos Norte

Introduction:

Background of the study: Nowadays, our environment is now polluted and where insects multiply and live. And many commercialized insect repellent were advertised. Some of these were exposed to chemicals that it could be dangerous for everyone. Let us use a cheaper and with lesser ingredients that could harm people. Calamansi is one of the popular citrus in the Philippines. Let us use Calamansi, instead f Lemon or Eucalyptus as its citric product.

Statement of the Problem: The study specifically aimed to answer the following questions: 1) Is calamansi extract effective as a citric product of dried carabao manure as an alternative insect repellent? 2) How long it would kill insects? 3)

Objective of the study: This study aims to lessen the financial problems of people in buying expensive insect repellent and to determine the effectiveness of calamansi extract as an insect repellent.

An insect repellent is a substance applied to skin, clothing, or other surfaces which discourages insects (and arthropods in general) from landing or climbing on that surface. There are also insect repellent products available based on sound production, particularly ultrasound (inaudibly high frequency sounds). These electronic devices have been shown to have no effect as a mosquito repellent by studies done by the EPA and many universities. Insect repellents help prevent and control the outbreak of insect-borne diseases such as malaria, Lyme disease, dengue fever, bubonic plague, and West Nile fever. Pest animals commonly serving as vectors for disease include the insects flea, fly, and mosquito; and the arachnid tick. Insects (from Latin insectum, a calque of Greek [ntomon], "cut into sections") are a class of living creatures within the arthropods that have a chitinous exoskeleton, a threepart body (head, thorax, and abdomen), three pairs of jointed legs, compound eyes, and two antennae. They are among the most diverse groups of animals on the planet, including more than a million described species and represent more than half of all known living organisms.[2][3
