ABSTRACT The Pyrethrum Pesticides is an organic pesticide that can be used in agricultural activities in places such as home garden, farm estate, community and school. Our project is to evaluate the efficiency of biopesticides, pyrethrum spray and pyrethrum powder which are made from tridax procumbens (tridax daisy). Besides, our product also acquires 2-in-1 functions, which are fertilizer and pesticides. The materials used to make this product are pyrethrum daisy, cooking oil, soap, neem leaf, egg shells, banana peels and distilled water. Pyrethrum is highly toxic to insects which means that it’s effective against the pests. Pyrethrin are biodegradable and break down quickly in sunlight within a few days. Other than that, pyrethrin does not persist in the soil or on veggies, which is considered relatively safe to use around food crops. Banana peels and egg shells are rich in macronutrients that are needed by plants in large quantities. Neem leaves are used to increase soil fertility. After using our pyrethrum spray for four weeks, no more pests exist on the chili plant. This means that the efficiency of our product is high. Why choose our product: Kills Pests Efficiently, Best for Spot Spraying, Eco-Friendly, Low Cost and 2-in-1 Pesticide and Fertilizer. For a long-term goal, we’ll try out other formulas that enhance the Pyrethrum Pesticide to be more efficient and powerful until it is able to eliminate other pests on different kinds of plants besides vegetables and fruit plants.
