Abstract

This study examined the resistance of three local wood types from the Ambon market Salawaku (Albizia chinensis), Makila (Litsea angulata), and Meranti (Shorea sp.) against subterranean termite attack (Coptotermes curvignathus Holmgren), using bioactive papaya leaf extract and Rap-rap chemical preservative. The study employed a Completely Randomized Design in a factorial pattern with three replications. Results showed that Salawaku recorded average weight losses of 101.62 g (papaya leaf extract) and 94.72 g (Rap-rap); Makila recorded 93.74 g and 43.53 g, respectively; and Meranti recorded 93.02 g and 43.53 g, respectively. The lowest average weight-loss percentage was found in Makila treated with Rap-rap (24.24%), while the highest was found in Salawaku treated with papaya leaf extract (58.45%). These findings indicate that wood type and preservative type had no significant effect on the percentage of weight loss caused by subterranean termite attack.
