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
