Chapter 3

This experiment will test the effectiveness of ginger extract as a natural pesticide by spraying it on plants for 7 days and observing the effects on pests and plant health. Ginger will be collected, cleaned, blended and extracted to make a solution, which will be sprayed on guava plants infested with mealybugs. The results will be compared to using the chemical pesticide malathion. The plants will be observed daily for 7 days to see if the ginger extract can kill pests and restore plant health as effectively as the chemical alternative.

Research Design

This experiment involves the extraction of Zingiber officinale (Ginger) and the testing
and effectiveness of its anti bacterial anti oxidant potential specifically against pest and
insects.

Gathering, blending and cleaning the Ginger samples

Ginger vegetables were collected from Pasig, Public Wet Market. The collected
samples were rinse thoroughly in running water and extraneous materials were
removed. Then the samples were chopped small to blend it smoothly. Using blender, the
samples were blended to get the juice/extracts.

Extraction

The blended Ginger samples were slowly and smoothly kept in a cool temperature
to keep its freshness and prevent extraneous and harmful organisms to infiltrate with it.

Pouring Clean water

It is important to mixed clean water to the extract to prevent harmful bacterias


contaminate on the sample. Use the same amount of mineral water to be mix with the
ginger extract.

Preparation of Treatments through plants

We will use our spray bottle to store Ginger Extract. The researchers will spray the
Ginger extracts (natural pesticides) on the plants. There will be 7 days of treatments for
the plants.

Effectiveness Testing

Test the treatment days if the Ginger extracts (natural pesticides) can kill and
prevent the pests and can restore the plants healthy condition. This process will know
how effective Ginger extract (natural pesticides) are to Plants.
Observation

There will be 7 days of observation. Observe if there are changes in the plants.

Comparing the natural (Ginger pesticides) vs. chemical pesticides (Malathion)

Observe the chemical pesticides (malathion) in other plants using the steps too.

Reparation of the test Plants

The results are ready to be gathered using our observational test. The
improvements of the plants will be recorded in 7 days. The results will then be used to
determine the effect of Ginger Extract (natural pesticides) to the harmful pests in the
plants.
