Ability Test of Jatropha Curcas (Jatropha Curcas) Leaf Extract Against Mortality of Culex Sp. Mosquito Larvae
Keywords:
Jatropha leaves, Culex Sp, Larvae, PesticideAbstract
Culex sp larvae will develop into mosquitoes which can become a vector that can transmit filariasis or commonly known as elephantiasis disease. From this case, it is necessary to carry out vector control through eradicating Culex sp larvae by using natural pesticide ingredients from Jatropha Leaves (Jatropha Curcas) because apart from being environmentally friendly, the residue is easily lost. The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of Jatropha (Jatropha Curcas) leaves on the mortality of Culex sp larvae using concentrations of 15%, 20% and 25% and for control 0% using 3 replications within 24 hours and a sample of 240 larvae. This type of research is an experimental study by observing trials of plant-based insecticides made from jatropha leaf extract on the mortality of Culex sp mosquito larvae with concentrations of 15%, 20%, and 25%. The location of this research is in the Environmental Health Campus Laboratory of the Health Ministry of Health, Makassar. The results showed that the average mortality of Culex sp larvae at 15% concentration was 10.3 (51.5%), 20% concentration was 12.3% (61.5%), and 25% concentration was 17.6 (88%). The conclusion of this study, Jatropha leaf extract (Jatropha Curcas) at a concentration of 25% was able to kill Culex Sp larvae with a percentage of 90% so it is recommended to use a 25% concentration of Jatropha leaf extract (Jatropha Curcas) to kill Culex sp mosquito larvae.
