Investigatory Project Essay

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT First of all the researchers would like to thank to their Science teacher Ms. Aira T. Velasquez for teaching them and helping them to do this Investigatory Project also giving us knowledge for us to understand every problem that has made in our I.P. The researchers would like to thank also to their Parents for their undying support to their children and giving them strength to finish the project successfully. Also the researchers want to give their gratitude for all the people and friends who help them and cooperate with them in order to do this. Lastly the researchers would like to thank to God Almighty, for his bountiful spiritual guidance, blessings and love.

In order to create natural mixture this can kill insects. Because it is natural, it cannot harm our environment unlike other insect killers which can also harm our environment. And to save money because this insecticide is very cheap you will not cost hundreds to be safe from insects. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY The researchers have made this organic insect killer out of lemongrass to create an environment friendly substance. Since our environment is at stake because of pollutions. One of these pollutions is on air. If you haven’t noticed our planet is deteriorating because of this. And one of the causes of air pollutions is the insecticides and pesticides which have chemicals that can affect the air. Serves as an eye opener for people to use natural insecticides that can help our environment and cost cheaper rather that using insect sprayer full of chemicals that can harm our environment and destroy mother earth. Promote awareness and resourcefulness for the good of everyone. It can be an inspiration for others to do this with other natural components and also to lessen garbage which people are worrying of nowadays. SCOPE AND LIMITATION Our product is insect repellant, its main ingredients are Lemongrass and Ginger which has a very strong smell. IN making this insect repellant we  only use natural ingredients such as Lemongrass and Ginger because of its natural aroma that makes the insect away. We the researchers didn’t use any kind of chemical ingredients because we are promoting natural resources. DEFINITION OF TERMS For purpose of clarity, the folloing terms used in the study are hereby defined Lemongrass- is native in India and tropical Asia (Cympobogon citrarus) it can be a tea or food adding flavor. Ginger or ginger root- is the rhizome of the plants Zingiber officinale, consumed as a delicacy, medicine, or spice. ABSTRACT We the researcher conduct this study due to economic crisis nowadays.

Insect repellant are important tools for prevention of insect borne – diseases well as painful or uncomfortable insect bites. And one natural insect repellant is the lemon grass (Cympobogon Citratus). Determining the effectiveness of lemon grass as insect repellant is the main goal of the study.
