About this document
Marigold as Mosquito Repellent by Karissa Joy is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study aims to determine if marigold flowers (Tagetes sps.) can effectively repel mosquitoes as an alternative to commercial repellents. Specifically, it seeks to answer if marigolds can repel mosquitoes, what substances in marigolds cause this repellency, and if marigold repellents are as effective as commercial options. The study hypothesizes that marigolds can repel mosquitoes due to the presence of pyrethrum, and that marigold repellency will not significantly differ from commercial repellents.
