Effectiveness of Annona Squamosa and Annona Muricata Seed Extracts as Ingredients in Bio-pesticides Spray

Abstract

Pesticides released chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) that can harm to the environment and human health. Therefore, it is a need for development of an alternative methods in pest management due to negative effects of pesticides for human health and the environment. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Annona Squamosa and Annona Muricata seed extracts as ingredients in bio-pesticides spray on killing crickets (Gryllidae) and mealworm (Tenebriomolitor). The seeds of Annona Squamosa and Annona Muricata were dried, powdered and extracted in soxhlet’s apparatus using n-hexane as a solvent at 60°C. The extracted oil was placed in the rotary evaporator for purification process. As a result, mixture of extracts of Annona muricata and Annona squamosa induced high mortality rate to mealworm and cricket compared to extracts of Annona squamosa and extract of Annona muricata at all concentrations tested. Therefore, the extracts of these Annona muricata and Annona squamosa may be used as one of the alternatives as bio-pesticides that offer cheaper and environmentally friendly method.

Study of the efficacy of oil extracted from the soursop "Annona muricata" on adults of the "Bactrocera dorsalis" fruit fly

“…These acetogenins are inhibitors of mitochondrial complex I and are therefore known to be neurotoxic in humans and rats. Other studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of the oil on insects of the order Diptera [17,2] . All these results corroborate our findings on Bactrocera dorsalis.…”

“…

The soursop is an oleaginous plant whose seeds are much feared for their toxicity. [1,2] . Its oil is extracted from the kernels using a soxhlet device using cyclohexane.

EFEKTIVITAS EKTRAK Biji Annona muricata dan Schleicera oleosa TERHADAP MORTALITAS IMAGO Callosobruchus maculatus Fabrichus

“…Asetogenin yang dihasilkan oleh biji A. muricata menyebabkan toksisitas pada beberapa serangga yang dikaji oleh penelti lain, misalnya larva dan imago Aedes albopictus dan Culex quinquefasciatus (Ravaomanarivo et al, 2014), kecoa dan Tenebrio melitor, Spodoptera litura (Irwan et al, 2021), menghambat aktivitas makan larva P. xylostella, menghambat pertumbuhan dan perkembangan larva dan pupa serta mematikan larva P. xylostella (Prédes Trindade et al, 2011) Pada penelitian lain ektrak A. muricata 1 g/L yang diekstraksi dengan etanol menunjukkan bahwa kemapuan ektrak tersebut mematikan iamago C. maculatus sebesar 88% pada 72 jam setelah perlakuan (Adeoye & Ewete, 2011). Diduga bahawa konsentrasi asetogenin pada A. muricata di daratan Pulau Timor lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan daerah lain sehingga pada pada perlakuan yang sama kemampuan untuk mematikannya lebih tinggi.…”

Pengaruh Ekstrak Metanol Biji Sirsak (Annona muricata) terhadap Kejadian dan Intensitas Serangan Hama pada Pertanaman Cabai Merah (Capsicum annum L.)

“…Hama termasuk salah satu OPT yang dalam pengendalian dapat dilakukan secara kimia, fisik, biologis, mekanis, hayati, dan kultur teknis (Hartono, 2017). Pestisida merupakan zat yang digunakan untuk mengurangi, mencegah, atau menghancurkan hama, namun pestisida sintetik yang umum digunakan memiliki dampak yang berbahaya untuk kesehatan manusia seperti kerusakan saluran pernafasan, sistem kekebalan tubuh, bahkan dapat menimbulkan kanker (Irwan et al, 2021). Berdasarkan Undang-Undang No.…”
