THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE

Background of the Study

This section presents the important facts that support the validity of the data presented

in this research study.

The researchers are concerned of the harmful effects that pesticides cause as they are

used widely in agriculture, homes, schools, and other places all over the world. As well as the

fact that mosquito-borne diseases are getting worse every year, with dengue being the most

prominent disease in the Philippines.

In an article written by the Vector Disease Control International (VDCI) team (2019),

West Nile virus, another mosquito-borne disease, infected 49 out of 50 states in the USA and

the District of Columbia. A total of 2, 647 cases were reported and 167 confirmed deaths in the

year 2018.

According to the Philippines Department of Health’s (DOH) Monthly Dengue Report

(2018), dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever are transmitted by the female Aedes

mosquito. They stated that a total of 69,088 dengue cases were reported nationwide from

January 1- July 28, 2018. In another report from reliefweb.int (2019), they mentioned that

WHO confirmed 271, 480 dengue cases, along with 720 deaths, were reported from January 1

– August 31, 2019. The results were 113% higher than in 2018. They also mentioned that the

Philippines Department of Health declared a National Dengue Epidemic on August 6, 2019.

The researchers came up with an idea to produce a safe and non-toxic pesticide that

can effectively mitigate mosquitoes and is free from chemicals and purely made with organic

ingredients and is also harmless to plants, animals, and humans.

Review of Related Literature and Studies

This section presents the works of different authors that are relevant to this study. It

contains quotations from various reference materials which were used as a basis for the

development and progress of this study.

Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium) is a flowering plant; it's similar to

manzanilla, but taller. In the Philippines, the flower heads are usually white or various colored

(Philippine Medicinal Plants, 2018). It, especially the oil and extract, is usually used in

medicinal practices and making herbal medicine for its antibacterial and antibiotic properties.

(WebMD, 2018). These flowers are usually observed to study plant regeneration because of its

ability to grow branches when a part is cut off (Chen et al, 2019).

Chrysanthemums naturally produce a chemical called pyrethrin. Pyrethrin is a

neurotoxin that can kill insects but does not harm mammals or birds. According to MGK's

article 'Pyrethrins & Pyrethroids', pyrethrins are found at particularly high concentration

within flower structures known as achenes which are located in the flower head of the

Chrysanthemum. The extract from the Chrysanthemum plant containing pyrethrins is

called pyrethrum (Baessler, 2018).

Insecticidal properties of the flower genus Chrysanthemum are called Pyrethrum and

Pyrethrins. Chrysanthemum flowers are also called “insect flowers”. Pyrethrum is the approved

common name for dried flowers (Taplin, 1990).

As stated in Amal et al's study (2008), the extract from Chrysanthemum coronarium L.

and its fractions have shown insecticidal effect on cotton leaf worms. The flower extract

3
seemed to be a potential plant for application in integrated pest management because of its

safety to the environment.

In a similar study, researchers from the University of Baghdad in Iraq (Shawkat et al,

2011), extracted the crude active compound of pyrethrin to produce an insecticide made of

natural products as a substitute to synthetic ones. Different concentrations (20%, 30% and

40%) of the extract were used against flour beetles (Tribolium castanum).

Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) is a fast growing tropical perennial plant that

contains aromatic oil. Its name is derived from the lemon-like odor of the essential oil present

in the stalks. Lemongrass oil is commonly used in culinary flavoring, medical practices and

even cosmetics (Joy et al, 2006).

Lemongrass is one of the commonly used plants in traditional medicinal practices in

most countries. In Brazilian folk medicine, it is used to treat nervous and gastrointestinal

disturbances, as well as feverish conditions. It is usually made into an infusion by pouring

boiling water on fresh or dried lemongrass leaves (this is infusion is called "abafado" in

Portuguese) and is orally ingested (Bueno et al, 1986)

Lemongrass oil is an effective insecticide against ticks, termites and dust mites and

various studies have shown lemongrass oil to be anywhere from 50 to 95% effective at

repelling insects for at least two to three hours according to study results as summarized in the

Sigma-Aldrich Plant Profiler (2010).

Lemongrass is also an effective insect repellent; it can repel various insects and

mosquitoes. Lemongrass is a natural repellent because of its high geraniol and citral content.

You can mix lemongrass oil with lemon eucalyptus oil for mosquito protection of about five to
 six hours per application. You can also mix lemongrass oil with rosemary oil for a more

fragrant formula. This can ward off a greater number of insect species (Wells, 2017).

In addition to being used as a medicine, lemongrass can also be used in the food

industry, cosmetic industry and pharmaceutical industry as well. Ethanol extract from

lemongrass have shown anti-bacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella

typhi. These ethanol extract contain protein, fats and carbohydrates (Nimrat et al, 2018).

Pests pose the serious threat to every living thing. There are many different kinds of

pests including fungus, mosquitoes, flies, rats, fleas, termites, feral dogs and any living

organism that has a harmful effect on humans, their surroundings, stock and food

supplies(Sharif, 2019).

There are approximately 3,000 different species of mosquitoes. Only the female

mosquitoes bite and suck blood because they need protein to help their eggs develop properly.

Mosquito-borne diseases are caused by the bacteria, viruses or parasites that were

transmitted by the mosquito when it is feeding. These are the most prominent mosquito-borne

diseases to date; Malaria, West Nile Virus, Yellow Fever, Dengue, Chikungunya, and Zika

Virus (Mosquito Reviews, 2019).

Of all the household pests in the world, mosquitoes are the most dangerous of them all.

Mosquito-transmitted diseases continue to cause massive problems to the public health

situation of tropical countries like the Philippines. Dengue, the world’s fastest-spreading

mosquito-borne disease, brought burden to a total of 131,827 Filipinos in 2017 (Gimutao &

Salazar, 2018).

5
 Insecticides are types of pesticide that have chemical and biological origins. They are

used to control vectors, such as mosquitoes and ticks, which spread human and animal

diseases (Dettbarn et al, 2019).

According to 'Homeowner's Guide To: Pesticide Use Around the Home and Garden'

(Bauder et al, 2018), pests in the home and garden can cause damage to homes and

landscapes, health problems, and decrease the production of fruit and vegetables. The use of

pesticides is an option in aiding these serious issues. Nonetheless, if handled improperly,

pesticides can cause damage to our health and environment. Products that mitigate insects

(insecticides), weeds (herbicides), and fungi (fungicides) are pesticides. The components that

make these chemicals toxic to pests also can be harmful to people and animals. In some

cases, these products can also contaminate our water supplies.

Commercially available chemical pesticides are currently the most and only effective

means of pest control program. However, the frequent use of these chemical substances has

not only caused adverse effects on mammals’ health, but has also caused harmful impact on

the other beneficiary members of the ecosystem and the environment in which they are

immersed (Alagarmalai, 2017).

DEET, a chemical that is used in insect repelling products (e.g. sprays, lotions, etc.),

prevents bites from mosquitoes, biting flies, fleas and other small flying insects. It is a colorless

liquid with a faint odor and it does not dissolve easily in water. DEET was developed by the

U.S. Army in 1946 to protect soldiers from insect-infested areas. Since 1957, insect repellents

containing DEET have been used by the general public in the United States. It was estimated

that about 30% of the U.S. population uses one or more products that contain DEET every

year (Jackson et al, 2008).

6
 According to Bloomquist (2015), pyrethroid insecticides are widely used compounds,

typically esters of chrysanthemic acid having a high degree of lipophilicity (fat solubility).  The

original compounds in this series were the natural pyrethrins (e.g., pyrethrin I), which are

isolated from the flowers of chrysanthemum. 

Pyrethroids were specifically designed to be more environmentally stable than

Pyrethrins. They provide long-lasting control and improved mammalian safety relative to other

products in use at the time they were developed. These compounds are commonly effective

against caterpillars, beetles, certain aphids and mites in crops, and for mosquito, termite and

cockroach control in non-crop segments (Salgado, 2013).

One alternative for insect pests control and to mitigate their attack is by using

phytochemicals. Naturally, many plant secondary metabolites (phytochemicals) affect insect

behavior, development and reproduction (Alagarmalai, 2017).

Chemical constituents present in plants have these activities and they show promise in

fighting pests in agriculture. An approach to these new insecticides that fulfill the requirements

of safety, efficacy and selectivity, can be by studying the defense mechanisms of plants.

Recent studies have shown the potential of insecticide substances and extracts isolated from

plants against various insect pests that cause serious damage to crops or stored grain. These

active ingredients are distributed by different plant organs and involved in secondary

metabolism. They are divided into three major groups: terpenes, phenols and nitrogenous

compounds (D'Incao et al, 2013).

Pesticides, especially insecticides, are used to control various pests and disease

carriers. Mosquitoes, ticks, rats and mice are some of the common targets. Vector-Borne

7
 Diseases, Asthma and Allergies, Microbial Contamination are some examples of health

problems that are caused by pests (EPA, 2017).

Insecticides are highly effective emergency tools for Integrated Pest Management when

the insect pest population exceed economic threshold. Despite its advantages, insecticide use

has led to many environmental problems. Insecticide resistance from pests is caused by

natural selection (Ascoughll et al, 2008).

According to Merchant (2016), most consumers relate pesticides with pollution, health

risk, and toxic chemicals. About 75% of the consumers are wary of using pesticides. Extracts

(aqueous or oil) of some plant materials are toxic to some species of insect pests of crops

and others are less toxic. These extracts have lethal effects on insects that may be applied

sole or in mixtures with less toxic plant extracts to ascertain their complimentary attributes in

the management of pests (Amatobi et al, 2006).

the dangers of the constant use commercial insecticides and the promotion of using organic

products that are non-toxic to humans and the environment.

Future Researchers - This study can help the next generation of researchers with the

same concerns. This can be used as a basis and reference to their own studies regarding

insecticides and the use of organic ingredients.

11
Scope and Delimitation

This study aims to test the effectiveness of chrysanthemum extract and lemongrass

extract as an alternative insecticide to help fight against mosquitoes. This is also focused on

the mosquito wrigglers that will be cultured and raised by the researchers.

The final product will be made and produced in the junior high school science lab

located at the Basic Education Department of Southwestern University PHINMA, Villa Aznar,

Urgello St., Cebu City, Cebu. The product will be tried and tested by the researchers on

mosquito larvae.
 Research Methodology

This section presents the research design, research environment, research respondents,

research materials, research procedure of the study.

Research Design

This study makes use of the experimental research design. Ary et al (2002) states that,

"Experimental is a scientific investigation in which the researcher manipulates one or more

independent variables, controls any other relevant variables, and observes the effect of the

manipulations on the dependent variables."

This type of research design is appropriate for this study, because the researchers aim

to produce a product that can work as an alternative insecticide and to record and study its

effectiveness against mosquitoes.

Research Environment

The experiment will be conducted at the junior high school science lab located at the

Basic Education Department of Southwestern University PHINMA, Villa Aznar, Urgello St.,

Cebu City, Cebu.

The respondents of this study will be the mosquito larvae that will be cultured and raised

by the researchers.

13
Research Subjects

The researchers will test the different concentrations on a significant number of

mosquito larvae. Random Sampling Method will be used to gather the required data to verify

the level of effectiveness and mortality rate of the different concentrations of chrysanthemum

1. Preparation and Extraction of Chrysanthemum Flowers

The chrysanthemum flower heads were separated from the stems with a pair of

scissors and was ground with a mortar and pestle after it was washed and air dried.

300 ml of 95% Ethanol was poured on top of the 7.3 g of chrysanthemum flowers inside

an empty container. It was set aside for at least 24 hours. The ground chrysanthemum

flowers were separated from the extract with the use of a strainer. The extract was

boiled for 15-25 minutes. Then it was refrigerated.

2. Preparation and Extraction of Lemongrass

The lemongrass was chopped with a pair of scissors after it was washed and air

dried. 300 ml of 95% Ethanol was poured on top of the 5.3 g of lemongrass inside an
