Formulasi Dan Aktivitas Granul Biolarvasida Tepung Jintan Hitam (Nigella sativa L.)

Abstract

One of the efforts to eradicate and prevent the transmission of diseases is accomplished through vector control. Larvae eradication is a strategic key in vector control programs. Natural biolarvicide are made using traditional plants, such as black cumin (Nigella sativa L.). This study aims to formulate, test the physical quality as well as the activity of the black cumin flour biolarvicide granules. Similarly, the black cumin flour is obtained by grinding the cumin seeds to a fine degree of 30/40, then mixing it with fillers and a binder to form a biolarvicide granule preparation. The biolarvicide granule formulation of black cumin flour was prepared in 3 concentrations at 1%, 5% and 10%. The biolarvicide preparations obtained were then tested for its physical quality and also its biolarvicide activity. Based on the results obtained, black cumin flour are formulated into biolarvicide granule dosage forms, all formulas meeting the requirements of a good physical quality test. Meanwhile, the biolarvicide activity test with a concentration of 10% showed that the average larvae that died within 24 hours was 9. This shows that black cumin flour (Nigella sativa L.) Likely to be used as a biolarvicide granule preparation (10% concentration) with the same larval mortality results as abate positive control (P> 0.05).
