“…The bait compositions showed that those containing eucalyptus leaves and cardboard led to a higher soil pH compared to containing paper only nor paper and eucalyptus. This finding is supported by the research carried out by Indrayani et al (2017bIndrayani et al ( , 2018, which stated eucalyptus leaf extract can be used as an attractant for termites.…”

Abstract. Indrayani Y, Anwari S. 2021. Effect of termite activity on soil chemical properties using baiting systems at an arboretum area in Pontianak, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 2125-2130. Termites play an essential and positive role as decomposers in nature, apart from being known as wood-destroying insects. These two varying characteristics led to the development of termite control technology, capable of digesting cellulose components and making soils rich in organic compounds. Therefore, this study examines the soil's biogenic structure due to termite activity using a control technology with a baiting system. The bait was made with various compositions of eucalyptus leaves, paper and cardboard, 60%: 40%: 0%, 60%: 20%: 20%, 60%: 0%: 40%, 0%: 100%: 0% and 0%: 0%: 100% with a size of 2cm x 2cm x 1cm and eucalyptus leaves as an attractant. In addition, a PVC tube measuring 10 cm diameter and 20 cm height with 25 holes consisting of 3 mm diameter on the side was used for field application. A total of 100 grams of bait for each composition was entered into the feed tube and placed in the Arboretum of Tanjungpura University, West Kalimantan, with three replications and left for 21 days. At the end of the observation period, the soil’s biogenic structures with termites were analyzed to determine their chemical properties. Furthermore, the same analysis was also carried out on the soil surrounding the test area without termite activity for comparison. The results showed that the pH, C/N ratio, C-Organic, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium contents as well as Cation Exchange Capacity of the soil produced from the tube containing the bait with a composition of 60%: 0%: 40% was significantly higher. This means that the soil's biogenic structure produced by termite activity with a baiting system increases land productivity and chemical properties.

“…Furthermore, previous data have shown that the crude extracts of S. aromaticum, M. leucadendra, and C. burmannii contain eugenol. GCMS analysis showed eugenol in each crude extract used in this study as follows: S. aromaticum (7.92%), C. burmannii (4.64%), and M. leucadendra, (3.36%), while the crude extract of the other two plant species contained derivatives of eugenol such as methyl eugenol (2.24%) in O. sanctum and acetyl eugenol in S. polyanthum (6.54%) (Indrayani et al 2017). The result of this study confirms that M. leucadendra crude extract, which is the most attractive to C. formosanus, has the lowest amount of eugenol.…”

“…Leaf extracts from the following five tropical plant species were prepared according to Indrayani et al (2017) Prior to the extraction, the plant leaves were airdried for 3 days and crosscut into small segments. The extraction was conducted with 70% ethanol solution for three 24-hours, and then rotary evaporated at 60°C for two 24-hour periods until the extract became a gel.…”

Abstract. Indrayani Y, Muin M, Adilla C, Yoshimura T. 2018. Short Communication: Attractiveness of subterranean termite Coptotermes formosanus to plant leaf extracts. Biodiversitas 19: 1176-1180. Plant-derived compounds have many potential uses. One such use is in agriculture for managing pests with less risk than with synthetic compounds that are toxicologically and environmentally undesirable. The current study focuses on the potential use of leaf extracts from five tropical plant species in attractant bait systems for controlling subterranean termites. Leaves from clove [Syzygium aromaticum (L.)], cajuput (Melaleuca leucadendra L.), cinnamon [Cinnamomum burmannii (Nees & T. Nees) Blume], basil (Ocimum sanctum L.) and bay (Syzygium polyanthum Wight) were extracted with 70% ethanol solution. Each extract was evaluated for its attractant properties for Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki using olfactory and Y-line trail following tests, respectively. Extract solutions were diluted to 1% concentration based on their eugenol content. For each test, which was replicated 15 times, a single worker was introduced into the test unit. The results showed that M. leucadendra crude extract was the most attractive among the five plant crude extracts, and the S. aromaticum crude extract was attractive especially in the trail-following test. The attraction rates were 40.00%, 80.00%, 53.33%, 60.00% and 46.67% for the S. aromaticum, M. leucadendra, C. burmannii, O. sanctum and S. polyanthum extracts, respectively. The trail-following rates were 86.67% for the S. aromaticum extract, 66.67% for the M. leucadendra extract, 53.33% for the C. burmannii extract, 20% for the O. sanctum extract as well as 26.67% for the S. polyanthum extract.

The province of West Kalimantan has many cultural heritage buildings that spread across 12 districts/cities. Those cultural heritage buildings come from three ethnic groups who live in the scattered settlements of West Kalimantan, namely Malay, Dayak, and Chinese. Both historic and traditional buildings are buildings with the main structure made of wooden materials that encounter weather and degradation due to natural conditions or organisms' influence. This article is a preliminary study to compare several research results on the conservation of wooden structures to traditional dwellings as the preservation efforts of cultural heritage architecture in West Kalimantan. Traditional houses in West Kalimantan are generally tens to hundreds of years old and established 1 -3 meters above the ground with poles foundation sunk to a water basis. Because the structure stands buildings on the side of a river with moist soil conditions, it is directly exposed to building sections to temperature and weather. This scientific article is developed by employing the text-in-context method with the qualitative paradigm by compiling the research results related to the investigation of organisms that destroy buildings and cultural heritage structures made of wood. The researcher's configuration of a result data set is assembled into the findings' integrity to answer the research objectives and questions. As a result, wooden materials of cultural heritage in West Kalimantan should be preserved by the chemical compounds, local material of bio pesticides, and traditional methods to preserve decayed structures and ornaments. Friendly preservation by environmental improvement and treated substitute material is also effective in refining the wooden structures.
