CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A BACKGROUND OFTHE STUDY
The radish is an edible root vegetable of the Brassicaceae family that was domesticated in Europe in pre-Roman times. They are grown and consumed throughout the world. Radishes have numerous varieties, varying in size, color and duration of required cultivation time. There are some radishes that are grown for their seeds; oilseed radishes are grown, as the name implies, for oil production. The most commonly eaten portion is the napi form tap root, although the entire plant is edible and the tops can be used as a leaf vegetable. The bulb of the radish is usually eaten raw, although tougher specimens can be steamed. The raw flesh has a crisp texture and a pungent, peppery flavor, caused by glucosinolates and the enzyme myrosinase which combine when chewed to form allyl isothiocyanates, also present in mustard, horseradish, and wasabi.Radish is an annual herb widely grown for its edible fleshy, hot tasting roots maybe red, white, or purple .Every part of the root or the plant can be used in different ways. The leaves and the root are eaten raw in sala . Likewise,it can be cooked or mix with meat to satisfactory attain its delicious taste. Aside from food, it is dried for juice extraction.Radishes were probably native to China. It was developed from a live plant that grows in the cooler region of Asia. It spread to the Mediterranean region before the Greek era and was introduced into the new world early in the 16th century. Radishes grow in Asia ,Europe ,and America.It was the favorite of the ancient Egyptians, Greek , and Chinese.
B Statement of the Problem
This study is to determine the ability of Radish as a pesticide. Specifically it sought to answer the following questions: 1. Can radish extract be used as a pesticide? 2. Can this be as effective as the other commercially available products with the same purpose? 3. Can this be harmless to our health? 4. Can this be cheaper compared to other
