PEMANFAATAN MIANG BAMBU BETUNG (DENDRO CALAMUS ASPER) SEBAGAI RACUN TIKUS
ABSTRACT: The used chemically
rodenticides to control rodent pest can
have a negatively impact on the environment and human life. Utilization of
eco-friendly natural materials such as “miang “ Dendrocalamus asper(bambu
betung) is one kind of solution that is
expected to be used as an alternative material to control rodent pest. This
research purposed to determine the effectivenes of “miang” Dendrocalamus
asper(Bambu Betung) against mortality of
white rats (Rattus novergicus, L.) by used the baits mixed
with bamboo miang betung at various concentrations (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%,
20%) on rodent morbidity and mortality
rate . The results of this research
indicates that mixing the bamboo
miang into baits, effect on
mortality of rodent. The concentration of 10% of the measure is the
most effectivebecause has killed
100% of
rats. This research indicates that miang bamboo high toxicity and
very potential to be develope as
an eco-friendly plant-based rodenticides.
