Abstract: CABUNOC, CARLO LUIGI AND NUEVA, JORDAN DAVE O. Evaluation Of Different Botanical Pesticides In Sweet Basil. Research Study. Science High School College of Education. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2007. Adviser: Dr. Evelyn O. Singson Selected botanical pesticides, namely: oregano, neem and devil weed, plus a biological pesticide, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) were evaluated on sweet basil. It aimed to compare pest populations in sweet basil sprayed with different botanical and biological pesticides; identify the most effective botanical pesticide in controlling insect pests of sweet basil; and determine the yield of sweet basil sprayed with different botanical pesticides. Experiments were set up in a randomized complete block design with 5 treatments replicated 3 times, at the Culinary Herbs, Aromatics and Medicinals Project, Department of Crop Sciences, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite from September 2006 to March, 2007. Pest populations were counted one day before and one day after treatment application. Damage observed on sweet basil was measured one day before and one week after application. The study shows that the pest populations before the application of botanical and biological pesticides rapidly decreased after the treatments were applied. The lowest population of pests was caused by neem. Long horned grasshopper population was greatly reduced by oregano. Thrips sp., cucumber beetle and green peach aphid populations were all reduced by the application of Bt. The study identified that neem and oregano water extracts were the most effective botanical pesticides in controlling insect pests. The study also concluded that oregano was the most effective in terms of yield.
