EFEKTIFITAS LARVASIDA AKAR BIDURI (CALOTROPIS GIGANTEA) SEBAGAI ALTERNATIF PEMBASMI JENTIK NYAMUK AEDES AEGYPTI

Abstract

Biduri plants (Calatropis gigantea) is a wild plant that is very difficult to destroy
because of rapid breeding. One of the toxins contained in Biduri is saponin. Therefore Biduri
plants very well be used as a repellent for Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae. The research
objective was to determine the effectiveness of the roots Biduri larvicides against Aedes
aegypti larvae mortality.This research is True Experiments with posttest study design Only
Control Group Design. Statistical test results obtained by the one way Anova sig. = 0.000 so
that ρ <α (0.05) means that there is a significant influence on differences in dosing solution
Biduri roots are used against Aedes aegypti larvae mortality. Further post hoc test to determine
differences in average - average each treatment group using Multiple Comparisons Analysis,
LSD (Least Square Difference) obtained sig. = 0.00 so that ρ <α (0.05) means that there are
significant differences in the deadly Aedes aegypti larvae of the four doses were given.
Control of Aedes aegypti larvae using Biduri root solution can be done by affixing the root
solution with 38 ml of solution Biduri root Biduri every 1 liter of water for 24 hours of
exposure.
