Abstract

A research entitle “Ethnobotany Research on the Saluan Tribal Ritual tradition in Pasokan village of Great Walea District in Tojo Una-una  Regency Central Sulawesi was conducted from June to August 2015. The study aims to determine the species and part of the plant which was used as a ritual even and also to obtain information about the uses of plants by Saluans tribal in Pasokan village. The method used were qualitative and quantitative methods in the form of participatory observation moderate, purposive sampling and snowball sampling, using 45 respondents. The plants were used in traditional rituals such as wedding rituals, building home, farming, birth of baby and circumcision. The result obtained 31 species from 22 plant families were used as ritual by Saluan tribal communities. The largest percentage of plant parts used are the leaves with a value of 34%. The ritual use of plants were direct consumpted, cooked, crushed, soaked and hanged.

Abstract

Introduction: One of the vectors of disease spread is flies. House flies (Musca domestica) are often found alive in almost all types of environments. Several previous studies have shown that pandanus leaves (Pandanus amaryllifolius), basil leaves (Ocimum sanctum), and bay leaves (Syzygium polyanthum) contain active compounds that are toxic to insects, but no one has compared the effectiveness of the four types of plants. This research aims to determine the effectiveness of administering extracts from various plant leaves as a bioinsecticide for houseflies (Musca domestica). Methods: This type of research is experimental using a completely randomized design with 6 treatments. The treatment consisted of administering Pandan Leaf extract (Pandanus amaryllifolius), Basil Leaf extract (Ocimum sanctum) and Laurel Leaf extract (Syzygium polyanthum) each with a concentration of 5 ml, 10 ml and 15 ml and using a control for comparison. Observations were carried out for 24 hours observing the number of dead flies. Results: The results of this study indicate that pandan leaf extract (Pandanus amaryllifolius), basil leaf extract (Ocimum sanctum), and bay leaf extract (Syzygium polyanthum) are effective in killing houseflies (Musca domestica). The most effective concentration being 15 ml. Research Implications: This research demonstrates that the use of natural bioinsecticides from plant extracts can control the population of house flies (Musca domestica) so that the risk of disease transmission in the community can be significantly minimized Conclusion: Pandan leaf extract (Pandanus amaryllifolius), basil leaf extract (Ocimum sanctum) and bay leaf extract (Syzygium polyanthum) can be used as natural alternative ingredients to exterminate houseflies (Musca domestica) Limitations of the research: This research did not control environmental conditions such as sunlight, temperature, and humidity. Other than that, neither the effects on fly resistance nor the effects on non-target organisms have been studied. Recommendations for Future Research: It is hoped that future research can examine the effects of fly resistance and killing on non-target organisms and control environmental conditions.
