Indonesia occupies the top position as the country with the highest dengue cases in ASEAN. A variety of prevention dengue can be done which can be used chemicals. Chemical insecticides indeed provide effective results and optimal, but many negative impacts both on the environment and living organisms. The many negative effects of   chemical insecticides led to new research in the vector control safer, simpler, and environmentally sound. Control using biological insecticides (vegetable) is one of them. One of the plants that can be used as larvicides are turmeric (Curcuma domestica). Tumeric contains bioactive compounds such as essential oils, alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins potential as an alternative killer mosquito larvae. Researchers create 6 concentration turmeric extract (0g / L; 0.25 g / L, 0.5 g / L; 1g / L; 2g / L; 4g / L) of each concentration included 25 larval Aedes aegypti L. The data obtained were performed Shapiro-Wilk normality test and then test the hypothesis by Kruskal Walis and probit test. Results obtained LC50value is 2.084g/L or 0.208% (w/v). The results showed that tumeric extract (Curcuma domestica) is effective to kill the larvae Aedes aegypti L.
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.
