RESEARCH PLAN

A. RESEARCH QUESTION

In households, there are termites that cause problems such as destroying our things but the available solution is very costly so we come with this research that aims to terminate termites in a cheaper way. The study determines the effectiveness of beechwood fruit (gmelina arborea) as a termite terminator.
It will answer the following questions:
1. Does phytochemical analysis of beechwood fruit supports its termicidal property?
2. Is beechwood fruit (gmelina arborea) extract effective as termite terminator?
3. Is there significant difference between the commercially available termicide and the beechwood fruit termite terminator?

A. GOALS/ EXPECTED OUTCOMES
GENERAL OBJECTIVES:
The study aims to make a termicide out of beechwood fruit (gmelina arborea)
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:
1. To conduct phytochemical analysis of beechwood fruit.
2. To test the effectiveness of beechwood fruit (gmelina arborea) in killing termites?
3. To identify the significant difference between the beechwood fruit (gmelina arborea) termite terminator and the commercially available termicide.
HYPOTHESIS:
1. Phytochemical analysis of beechwood fruit (gmelina arborea) supports its termicidal property.
2. Beechwood fruit (gmelina arborea) termite terminator is effective in killing termites.
3. There is no significant difference between the commercially available termicide and beechwood fruit (gmelina arborea) termite terminator.

B. METHODOLOGY This study aims to terminate termites by the use of beechwood fruit (gmelin aarborea). We will use experimental methods to test the beechwood fruit using three groups of same number

    Blackworms (Lumbriculus variegatus) were used in this experiment to study the effects of secondary plant compounds, chemical compounds produced by plants that are not part of the general metabolism, on pulse rate. Secondary plant compounds act as defense mechanisms which reduce or eliminate consumption of some plant species or even attract predators. These compounds are not essential to the plant but often benefit the plant by having harmful effects on animals. These deterrents can include toxins, increased volume of urine, or even affect water balance but they include a wide variety of physiological consequences (Dearing et al, 2002).…

    This solution is also known as an insecticide, which in simpler terms is a chemical (Emamectin Benzoate). This would be injected into the base of any ash tree and is used to kill off the EBA or any other unwanted pests. Now many wonder if it will hurt the tree, and the answer is no. This chemical is not only killing the EBA, but also helping the ash trees redeem their strength (Tree-age). In studies, after using the Tree-age, the percentage of the EBA and any other pests have dramatically decreased. In research, after only a month of having injected the insecticide into the tree, it is close to 99% clearance of the EBA. This solution has been proven to eliminate massive amounts of larva and adults (Emamectin Benzoate). Although this chemical is extremely effective, there are some drawbacks. Unfortunately, this is a highly sensitive chemical and needs to be inserted into the tree properly, or the effect won’t be as successful, therefore, anytime it needs to be injected into the tree, it needs to be completed by a professional. Another downfall is that the chemical should be re-applied every two years (Tree-age). With these downfalls it may seem impossible, but the idea of this insecticide is to slow the insect from spreading. One easy solution that will slow the growth, which everyone can cooperate in is to not move firewood. After cutting an infested ash tree, the larva will still…

    The most common and economically important wood-destroying organisms in the United States are Subterranean Termites (Reticulitermes flavipes). Termites feed on materials that contain cellulose, primarily dead wood and wood by-products. Subterranean termites are social insects that live in colonies that may contain hundreds of thousands of individuals. Each termite colony contains three forms or castes, which are the workers, soldiers, and reproductives (Picture # 1).These castes are physically distinct and perform different tasks in the termite society. Workers are about 1/8 inch long and are blind, wingless, soft-bodied, creamy white to grayish-white with a round head. Workers are the most numerous individuals in a termite colony, and they are the termite caste that actually eats the wood. These sterile individuals forage for food and water, construct and repair shelter tubes, feed and groom other termites, care for eggs and young, and participate in colony defense. Soldiers are also wingless and resemble workers except that they have a large, rectangular, yellowish-brown head with large mandibles (jaws). The soldiers’ primary function is colony defense. Male and female reproductives can be winged (primary) or wingless (neotenic). Each can produce new offspring. Winged primary…

    Insect resistant or Bt crops produce a groups of protoxins known as the cry protoxins or Bt toxins. The Bt toxins have insecticidal effects on pests attempting to eat the crops. The toxins have been proven to be nontoxic in humans and other nontarget species both when applied as a spray and as a GMO. First, the Bt toxins were proven to be safe by the EPA in the 1970’s as a spray and later in the 1990’s the GMO crop version was proven to be safe by the…

    Government studies indicated that long-term environmental risk from Malathion application was unlikely because the pesticide degrades to harmless materials rapidly after application. These findings come from the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, (2005, Section 1). There could be 90 cases of Malathion-related illnesses from the proposed application program. But there could be many more without the application. Malathion applications can be controlled safely. But the mosquito population would prove to be harder without the…

    Neonicotinoids are a widely used group of nicotine-related insecticides. Largely used in agriculture, neonicotinoids help protect and maintain crops, especially in Canada and the United States. Although still used for crops today, neonicotinoids have been thought to have significant effects on certain bug populations (Whitehorn, O’Connor, Wackers & Goulson, 2012). Considering this, it is questionable on their overall effects on the environment, and more specifically, on bees. Neonicotinoids also affect other species of bugs, but the impact on bees must be focused on as their environmental impact is the greatest. The overall impact is not only related to bees, but also towards their role in an ecosystem and how that influences our economy and…
