Abstract The study was done with the aim of producing a pesticide from cogon grass. Cogon grass was treated to come up with a product which can be used as a pesticide. The said product can be used against pests, namely, cockroaches and wood ants. In the study, the methods in the production of pesticide were given emphasis. Tests conducted by the researchers were also incorporated in this paper, to test the effectiveness of the product. The product was compared to other setups, from cogon grass to the commercially available pesticide. Statistical tools were used in analyzing the data for more accurate results. In the end of the paper, a wider range of researches on how to improve the quality of the product was recommended.
Research Plan
A. Materials and Methods
The cogon grass was cut into very small pieces. Then, the cut cogon grass was placed in the blender. 50 mL of water was poured in the blender. The blender was tightly covered. The mixture was pureed for about 10 minutes. The remaining cut cogon was added in the mixture and the mixture was pureed again for another Then, the mixture was put in a clean container

    Amanda, I most definitely agree, our fruits and vegetable crops must grow without the synthetic pesticides. We all believe that organic is always the best choice because it is better for our health, the importance of our environment, and the people who grow our food. I read that the hazard risk from pesticides on the traditional or regular food of produce fluctuates from very low to very high depending on the type of produce and what country where it’s grown. Learning from our assignments about ecology and how necessary it is to understand how living things interact with each other as well as with nonliving elements gave me a better perspective and understanding life purpose. Watching the movie “King Corn,” gave me a better view about the synthetic…

    The experiment showed that weed killers have a negative effect on the growth and health of plants. The growth and health of plants treated with weed killer when placed in different settings—under the shade and under direct sunlight—were greatly affected. The temperature, humidity, rain, and wind all affected how well the weed killer worked on the plants experimented. Though the plants were treated with weed killer once and watered with tap water after the treatment, the weed killer left residue on the plants that caused stagnant growth. The higher the concentration of weed killer treated on the plants, the greater the effect the weed killers have on the health and growth of plants. With this, it means that crops treated with weed killers in…

    The increase in desire for perfect produce, drives the need for pesticides today. Much debate of the effects of chemicals used on commercial crops and overall long term effects on humans is an increasing concern. With the increase in advertising of organic produce, many standards of farming have been criticized. Many are claiming a large increase in risk to humans for consuming commercially grown produce, because of the chemicals used to manage such a large volume of crops. There have been many debates of the actual risk of pesticide consumption. With advancing technology and farm equipment, many types of chemical sprays and powders have been used. The actual effect of these pesticides and long term exposure can be harmful to human health.…

    In our rapidly growing world, human populations have sky rocketed within the past two generations. It is because of this that food must be harvested and provide sufficient nutrients at an unnatural rate. This is where modern science has stepped in, allowing farmers and agricultural workers to reliably yield a successful crop season. The spray on pesticides that eliminate any threat of unwanted parasites, insects, or other organisms that may inhibit the growth of the crops are a product of chemistry combined with agriculture. Two pesticides that are commonly found are captan and methoxychlor. Captan is used for a couple various circumstances, but is primarily used in the protection of fruits and vegetables from insects, rats, and will even help…

    The use of pesticides in agriculture has long been a highly controversial issue with numerous economic, social, and environmental costs and benefits. While an abundance of both costs and benefits do indeed exist, this paper will conduct a risk-benefit analysis to demonstrate that the risks associated with pesticide use actually outweigh the benefits – meaning, the ends do not, in fact, justify the means.…

    We therefore conclude, that the synthetic fertilizer is better to use than organic fertilizer because it provides faster growth of the plant. But, it is very expensive. Some farmers, especially the poor ones and suffering from financial problems cannot afford this kind of fertilizer. It is also dangerous and harmful to the health of the farmers because of its chemical content.…

    The extract of 3000 M MG showed 60 and 50 % germination of radish and sand fescue respectively, on the day 4, compared with control (Figure 7). MG inhibited shoot and root growth of radish at the concentration greater than 1 M (Figure 8), and inhibited shoot and root growth of sand fescue at the concentrations greater than 10 and 1M, respectively (Figure 8 ). The inhibitory activity was increased with increasing the concentration of MG (Figure 9). Considering the I50 values of the shoot and root growth of radish were 10.69 and 4.74 M, respectively and the shoot and root growth of sand fescue were 626.12 and 254.46 M, respectively (Table 2). Therefore, MG may have potential as either herbicide or a template of new groups of herbicides. These results are consistent with other findings that natural compounds may have possibility to use as herbicides (Dayan et al. 2000; Duke et al. 2002; Cantrell et al. 2012; Dayan et al. 2012; Dayan and Duke 2014), and are more environmentally friendly than many of currently used synthetic herbicides (Hoagland and Cutler 2000; Duke et al. 2010; Dayan and Duke…
