Tubli
Tubli (Derris) is a low bush that provides insecticides against plant lice, yellow aphids, flies, caterpillars, and ticks, fleas, chicken fleas and others.
This is known to be used as fish poison, as traditionally done here and in Indonesia, but this is not legal because it kills the big fishes and their offspring. Tubli is poison to cold blooded creatures like insect insects like insects and marine organisms.
Makabuhay (tubli)
An excellent source of insecticide In a research conducted by the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Forestry and Natural resources Research & development (PCARRD) at the U.P Los Baños, it was found out the juice of 50 grams of makabuhay for 1.25 liters water can control rice green leafhoppers, insect
that bring the virus of the disease in palay.
PLANT PESTICIDES FOR RICE PESTS
Certain plants, not harmful to the environment or to the user, repel the black insect pests that
attack rice plants. Some of these are the tubli (or labnek) lagtang(or macasia) and the
makabuhay(derris).
KALINGAG – insect pest repellant
The most damaging insect pest that preys on fruits is the fruitfly. Once it gets into the flesh of
any fruit, it can reproduce and spread wherever that fruit may be brought. Thus, in efforts of
importing countries to avoid the entrance of this pest into their territories, strict regulation are
imposed on incoming fruits, for instance our mango.
It was found out by a scientist from the Bureau of Plant Industry in Quezon that the bark of the
Kalingag attracts insects, especially the fruitfly, thus facilitate their entrapment.
Procedure:
1. Pulverized the bark of the bark of the Kalingag tree.
2. Mix the powder in 2% water solution that is, 2 grams per liter of water.
3. Put this in containers with traps.
The friutflies will approach it, especially early in the morning and late afternoons.
