PERBEDAAN TOKSISITAS EKSTRAK, REBUSAN DAN RENDAMAN DAUN PEPAYA (Carica papaya L.) TERHADAP MORTALITAS LARVA NYAMUK Aedes aegypti L.

Abstract

Abstract.Aedes aegypti L. mosquitos is vector that cause dengue fever. Control efforts by government using synthetic insecticides have a negative impact. Alternative control which is safer and environmentally friendly is the use of compounds derived from plants or referred to as a botanical insecticide. Plant that can be developed as a botanical insecticide is papaya (Carica papaya L.). Papaya leaves contain the papain enzyme, karpain alkaloids, glikosid, karposid and saponins. To determine the differences among extracted, boiled and immersion papaya (Carica papaya L.) toxicity on mortality of Aedes aegypti L. larvae, the research is conducted to obtain LC₅₀ andLT₅₀values of serial extracted, boiled and immersion papaya (Carica papaya L.) concentrations which is analyzed using Probit alisis. The amount of influencing extracted, boiled and immersion papaya (Carica papaya L.) on mosquito larvae mortality of A. aegypti L. was analyzed by using ANOVA. Based on the research results, it was revealed that there were significant differences between treatments by using extracted, boiled, and immersion papaya leaves on mortality of larvae of Aedes aegypti L.based on significance that is 0,000 (p<0,05). And if there are significant differences, it will be calculated by using Ducan test with a level of 95%. Based on the research results, it was revealed that there were significant differences between treatments by using extracted, boiled, and immersion papaya leaves on mortality of larvae of Aedes aegypti L.based on significance that is 0,000 (p<0,05).
