Through mosquito bites, parasites of the genus Plasmodium spread the disease known as malaria. Malaria-carrying mosquitoes of the genus Anopheles sp. One secure method of controlling the Anopheles sp. mosquito population is biological mosquito control. Since the biological method does not use chemicals but rather the phytochemicals found in plants, one of which contains compounds from the male breadfruit flower and is capable of acting as a vegetable larvicide or mosquito repellent. The aims of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of electric mosquito mats that contain male breadfruit flowers to kill or cause mosquitoes (Anopheles sp.) to die. A completely randomized design (CRD) was used for the experiment. The results showed a change in the mortality of Anopheles sp. mosquito larvae. After exposure to breadfruit flower mat doses of 0.5gr, 1gr, 1.5gr, 2gr compared to no administration. Thus, it was concluded that male breadfruit flower mats with concentrations of 0.5gr, 1gr, 1.5gr, and 2gr had an insecticidal effect on the mortality of Anopheles sp. mosquitoes. with an effective concentration of 2gr (96.5% mortality), of which 50% mortality (LC50) of Anopheles sp. larvae. Occurred at a concentration of ethanol extract of male breadfruit flowers dose 0.36gr.
The storage period of stored rice will experience damage and shrinkage in quantity and quality. One of the causes of the decline in the quantity and quality of stored crops is the attack of the warehouse pest Sitophilus oryzae (rice lice). Sitophilus oryzae pest control can be done by using clove leaves. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of clove leaf (Syzygium aromaticum L.) in controlling the pest Sitophilus oryzae and the leaf weight of clove (Syzygium aromaticum L.), which was effective in controlling the pest Sitophilus oryzae. This study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with five treatments and was repeated three times and analyzed one way ANOVA 95% if the BNT test followed a difference. This study showed that administering clove leaves with a weight of 15 g, 20 g, 25 g, and 30 g can control the pest Sitophilus oryzae in rice. This can be seen in the average mortality of Sitophilus oryzae on day 4. The weight of 15 g is 36,67%, the weight of 20 g is 48,33%, the weight of 25 g is 60,00%, and the weight of 30 g is 78,33%. ANOVA results showed that clove leaf treatment significantly affected the mortality rate of imago Sitophilus oryzae. This is indicated by the p-value> 0,05. In addition, from the results of the BNT test, it was found that the doses of 15 g, 20 g, 25 g, and 30 g showed an effect on the mortality of imago Sitophilus oryzae. This study concludes that clove leaf can control the pest Sitophilus oryzae on rice; the effective weight of clove leaves in controlling the pest Sitophilus oryzae on rice was 30 g, able to kill as much as 78,33%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
