Daya Larvasida Ekstrak Biji Srikaya (Annona Squamosa) Dengan Rentang Waktu Penyimpanan Yang Berbeda Terhadap Larva Culex Quinquefasciatus (Effectivity ofSugar-Apple (An nona squamosa) Seed Extract with a Different Length ofStorage Against Culex quinquefasciatus Larvae
Synthetic insecticide have been used to control Culex quinquefasciatus, but the prolonged usage of synthetic insecticide has a bad impact 011 the environment and may caused resistance. Sugar apple s (An nona squamosa) seeds which contain alkaloid can be used as an alternative insecticide that was safefor environment.
This research aims is to know the effect of sugar apple’s seeds with different length of storage as Cx. quinquefasciatus larvacide. This research was all experimental study with a randomized controlled trial group design approach. The test material was all extract ofsugar apple’s seeds which have been kept for 0, 1,2, and 3 week with LC50 (0,47 ppm) was used. Each treatment used 25 Cx. quinquefasciatus larvae from third instar larvae stage and replicatedfive times. After exposed for 24 hours, dead larvae counted.
The result confirmed that the extract of sugar apple’s seeds wliich has been stored in 0, I, 2, and 3 week did not showed (11), significant different on larvae mortality. Extract ofsugar apple’s seeds which have been stored in 0. I, 2, and 3 week have an equal activity as Culex quinquefasciatus larvicide.
