Paderanga Research Adviser: Ma’am Lea Lilibeth Emata Xavier University High School Ateneo de Cagayan ____________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT This investigatory project was conducted primarily to determine the effectiveness of “Sapal” in restraining bean weevil for longer storage of leguminous seeds. Simple process was undertaken. The materials were prepared before performing the experiment. The 150 grams of mongo seeds were used as the experimental set-up and 150 grams for control set-ups. One piece of mature coconut was grated and dried, 75 grams of “Sapal” was mixed with 150 grams of mongo seed, and also with 150 grams of string bean seeds. The ratio of mixing was 2:1 seeds and “Sapal”. After mixing, it was placed in separate sieves and allowed to dry under the sun for 6 hours. Then, the experimental seeds were placed in separate jars properly labeled; likewise with the jars of the control separately placed and also properly labeled. The bottles were kept in a cabinet seed bank safe to avoid being accidentally destroyed by people and animals. The seeds were observed weekly and whatever observations noticed for a period of one month were recorded. Result of the study showed that using “Sapal” as Weevil Repellant in Storing String Bean and Mongo Seeds...

...THE USE OF BIOMASS WASTES TO FABRICATE CHARCOAL SUBSTITUTES IN KENYA Feasibility Study forming part of the Shell Foundation-supported project on charcoal briquetting in Kenya March 2004 Chardust Ltd. P.O. Box 24371 Nairobi and Spectrum Technical Services P.O. Box 69993 Nairobi Executive Summary This study was designed by Chardust Ltd. and implemented jointly by Chardust and Spectrum Technical Services, a Nairobi-consulting firm. The aim was to determine the viability of producing briquetted charcoal fuel from biomass wastes in Kenya. The study was funded by the Shell Foundation and conducted over a two month period in late 2003. The viability of producing fuel commercially from biomass wastes was assessed from four perspectives: (a) Availability: Existence and accessibility of biomass in bulk, preferably with no competing uses. The study began with a list of 28 potential wastes, which was narrowed down to 20 and then to just ten, according to a ranking system based upon basic availability and accessibility. (b) Conversion Potential: Physical suitability for drying, carbonisation and briquetting. Samples of the ten short-listed wastes were sourced and delivered to Chardust in Nairobi, where production trials were carried out. Based on these trials, a ranking system was devised for comparing the wastes in terms of their suitability for fuel production. (c) Fuel Quality: Energy value and general performance of fabricated fuel. The third part of the study comprised...

...The coconut palm (Cocos nucifera) is a member of the Arecaceae family also known as the palm family. According to UCC Biology Department, “The spelling cocoanut is an archaic form of the word. The term is derived from 16th-century Portuguese and Spanish coco, meaning "head" or "skull". Coconut can be dated back to the story of Sinbad the Sailor, One Thousand and One Nights. He is known to have bought and sold coconuts during his fifth voyage. Its Malayalam name, Tenga, was used in the complete description of coconut found in Itinerario by Ludovico di Varthema published in 1510. Even earlier, it was called nux indica, a name used by Marco Polo in 1280. The origin of the coconut plant is to be discussed because no one really knows. O.F. Cook was one of the first modern researchers to draw conclusions about the location of the origin of Cocos nucifera based on its current-day worldwide supply. He predicted the coconut originated in the Americas, based on the fact that American coconut populations dominated the European connection. The oldest fossils known of the modern coconut dating from the Eocene period from around 37 to 55 million years ago were found in Australia and India. According to author VanZile, J (2014), “Cocos nuciferas are large palms that can grow up to 30 m (98 ft.) tall, with pinnate leaves 4–6 m (13–20 ft.) long, and pinnae 60–90 cm long; old leaves break away cleanly, leaving the trunk smooth.” Coconuts are categorized into two general types: tall and dwarf...
