PEMANFAATAN DAUN TANAMAN SUKUN (Artocarpus altilis) SEBAGAI ANTI NYAMUK MAT ELEKTRIK DALAM MEMBUNUH NYAMUK Aedes, spp
Abstract: Aedes,spp mosquitoes
are vectors of various diseases (dengue fever, filariasis, chikungunya and
yellow fever). To controll the vector borne disease can be done by controlling
its vector. One of the way to control the disease is using the synthetic
insecticide that are toxic to human, so it is necessary to use natural
insecticide.The purpose of this study is to utilize the leaves of breadfruit
plant (Artocarpus altilis) as an electrical mat to kill mosquito Aedes.This
research was quasi-experimental with completely randomized design (CRD) with 6
treatments (the weight of breadfruit leaf powder of 0 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg, 300
mg, 400 mg and 500 mg) with 3 times repetitions.The result indicate that there
were the difference of mosquito mortality based on the weight of each mat with
three repetitions during 30 minutes observation. The mosquito mortality rate at
weight of 100 mg was 33,33%, 200 mg was 40%, 300 mg was 53,33% (reached the LD
50), 400 mg was 46,67%, 500 mg was 46,67%, and there was no mortality in
control. Based on the result of statistical test of one-way Anova with
significance level of 5%, it was obtained that p(0,976)> α(0,05), which
means there was no difference in the average number of Aedes,spp mosquitoes
dead significantly.The conclusion is breadfruit leaves (Artocarpus altilis) can
be used as an electrical mat to Aedes,spp, and the effective weight of
breadfruit leaves to kill Aedes,spp was 300 mg.
