Pemanfaatan Daun Sirsak (Annona muricata L.) pada Media Umpan sebagai Pengendali Rayap Tanah (Coptotermes curvignathus Holmgren)
Abstrak: Soursop leaves (Annona muricata L.) function as repellent
and anti feedant. The objective
of this research was to identify the effect of usingsoursop leaves a
botanical insecticide to control termites.This research was carried out
in two laboratories in Tanjungpura University, Biology Laboratory, Faculty of
Mathematics and Natural Sciences and Wood Technology Laboratory, Faculty of
Forestry from Februari 2013 to May
2013. This Research utilised two
factor, factorial design with
completely randomized design
(CRD).The first factor is the weight of soursop leaves ( 0 g, 2 g, 4 gand 6 g).
The second is the types of bait media such as sawdust, filter paper, and ground
termite nest. Each treatment was done three times to eventuallyachive thirty
six experimental units. Subterranean termites highest morality is found in the
combination of 6 grams of soursoup leaf powder 6 g with 10 g filter paper as
the bait medium. The average morality of this termite is 99.33
%. On the
other hand, the
treatment resulted in the lowest
weight lost of
bait media is the
combination of 4 grams of soursoup leaf powder with 10 grams of sawdust, losing
averagely 9.99% of bait media weight.
