Efficacy of Acacia Bark Extract Againts Rapids
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Pest insects are based on the potential damage on human purpose. They cause damage to the agricultural crops, consume and or damage harvested food, cause illness or unproductively to agricultural animals, and vector human disease.
For centuries man had made innovative ways in combining pest insects, which leads to the invention of insecticides. Though insecticides contributed big in the elimination of pest insects, it also contributed ecological alteration due to its toxic chemical properties. Over usage of it causes alteration in the food chain, causing toxic exposure and intake to both animals and humans.
Recently a research was conducted about the insecticidal capability of the accia tree, particularly of its seeds. accia seeds revealed the presence of saponin, tanins, alkaloids, reducing agents – glycosides, carbhoyhdrates which had the capacity to kill insects.
Due to the philippines rich natural resources, having acai tree grow abundantly on its oil, efficacy of acacia seeds against insects can be tested.
Having a test regarding the efficacy of the acacia seeds against insects can be great help in promoting clean leaving, and centuries of misusage and abuse on insecticides will be lessened or even be eliminated through the help of this study.
Significance of the study
There are many commercial insecticide preparations highly effective against insects. However it has been sufficiently demonstrated that these preparations are generally extremely lethal even in small quantities and persistent in the food chain. For these environmental concerns it is preferable to seek alternatives not possessing of these properties.
Significance of this study is to provide alternative insecticide that is less lethal and does not persist in the food chain.
