ABSTRACT

Maria Aurora National High School is a vocational school. Commercial fertilizers pesticides for healthy plants. Price of commercial fertilizers and pesticides are almost unaffordable. Researchers believe that commercial fertilizers are not only supply of nutrients and chemical contents like swamp cabbage because it has N-P-K, magnesium, and calcium and Neem as insect repellent. In combining the fermented plant extract, FERTICIDE was formulated.

The purpose is to determine the possibility supply of the essential nutrients needed by the pole bean during its vegetative and reproductive stages; determine the effects of FERTICIDE to prove if it kills and repel insects.

In preparing FERTICIDE collect the plant materials and remove undesirable parts of plants, slice the Neem leaves into fine pieces; squeeze it to get the extract; place it to a container and mix the extracted leaves in a clean container and chop swamp cabbage in to fine pieces, mix the brown sugar, mash until the sugar dissolve. Transfer into a jar and place at a room temperature in a week. After squeezing the mixture, get the juice and mix the extracted Neem and Swamp Cabbage.

Based on the experiment conducted, it was found out that FERTICIDE is like a commercial fertilizer in terms of essential nutrients contents. It also proves that it has the same effect to the growth of pole beans, while the chemical compounds of Neem leaves extract in FERTICIDE are proven has pesticidal properties that can kill and repel insects.

I therefore conclude based on the experiment conducted, FERTICIDE is comparable with commercial super phosphate in terms of essential nutrients content both on the vegetative and reproductive stage of the plants. The study likewise proves that...
