    Larvicidal Effect of Dalanghita (Citrus Nobilis)

    Uploaded by

    Shiki Asagami Brunested
    This study aims to test the effectiveness of Dalanghita peel oil extract as a larvicide against Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. The researchers will expose A. aegypti larvae to three different concentrations of Dalanghita peel oil extract (50%, 75%, 100%) and measure mortality rates after 24 and 48 hours. They hypothesize that the extracts will not have a significant larvicidal effect. If effective, Dalanghita peel extract could serve as a low-cost natural pesticide for remote areas in the Philippines. Statistical analysis using ANOVA will determine if mortality rates differ significantly between concentrations.

    Introduction
    Mosquitoes have always been a danger that people have to deal with. A
    mosquito bite can transmit Dengue and it can also transmit the Zika virus,
    Chikungunya virus, Malaria virus, Rickettsia infection and other various
    parasites and diseases they harbor. Larvicide however can be quite costly for
    the remote areas in the Philippines. 20 kilograms of Larvicide can go range
    from P7920, if imported from outside the country.
    With these facts, the researchers found that citrus fruits such as
    Dalanghita are of high medicinal value because of their multiple uses, such
    as in the food industry, cosmetics and folk medicine. Dalanghita peel oil
    extract which contains a considerable amount of limonene, has numerous
    applications including natural insect repellent for use on humans. Their
    waste such as their peelings can be used in the production of other by-
    products. The researchers would like to prove that the dalanghita peel oil
    extract can be economically viable and effective answer to the mosquito
    proliferation to prevent another outbreak occurs.
    Statement of the Problem
     What is the mortality rate for the A. aegypti larvae
    using Dalanghita peel oil extract after 24 hours? And
    48 hours of exposure period?
     Which of the following extract concentrations would
    exhibit optimum larvicidal effect? (50% g/mL, 75%
    g/mL, 100% g/mL)
     Is the dalanghita peel oil extract effective in being a
    larvicidal agent against Aedes aegypti larvae?
    Statement of Hypothesis
    Ho: Dalanghita peel oil extracts will
    not leave a significant effect as a
    larvicide in the 50%, 75%, and
    100% extract in all concentrations.
    Conceptual Framework
    (Schematic Diagram)
    Significance of the Study
     For the people in the Medical Field, this study
    will provide these people with basic knowledge and
    information as to the potential use of natural
    pesticide.
     For the students, this study will provide
    information for them to become critical thinkers.
     For the researchers, this study will provide an
    open opportunity for the future researchers to
    conduct further investigation related to the
    problem.
    Scope and Delimitation
    of the Study
    • This study aims to use the peelings of dalanghita as
    an alternative larvicidal agent.
     This study will only focus on the effectiveness of
    the dried peelings of dalanghita as a larvicidal. The
    researcher does not aim to analyze other possible
    outcomes that can be done with the dalanghita
    peel.
    Method of Research
    Research Design
    The study uses an experimental method
    of research which includes:
    * collection of plant sample
    * collection of plant extraction
    The result shows proof of the larvicidal
    effect Dalanghita peel oil extracts towards
    Aedes aegypti larvae.
    Methods of Research
    Instrumentation and Validation
     The researchers will use dalanghita fruits that will be
    collected from Calamba market and will be
    authenticated by the botanist of the Botanical
    Herbarium of the University of the Philippines Los
    Baños Laguna.
     The Aedes aegypti larvae will be purchased and verified
    from the Institute of Biological Sciences of the
    University of the Philippines Los Baños Laguna.
     The dalanghita peels will be extracted using Soxhlet
    apparatus that are made of Pyrex glass, with high
    thermal resistance
    Statistical Analysis
    The statistical tools were employed for the
    analysis and interpretation of data. The one-way
    analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used to determine
    whether there are any statistically significant
    differences between the means of two or more
    independent (unrelated) groups. This will be used
    to determine if there is significant difference in
    mortality rate among different dalanghita peel
    extract concentrations.
