Abstract

Indonesia is a center of biodiversity, including the green betel plant (Piper betle L) which has long been used in traditional traditions and medicine. This study aims to identify the use of green betel leaves, the types of diseases treated and the processing methods as traditional medicine by local people in Serang Jaya Hilir Village, Pematang Jaya District, Langkat Regency. The study was conducted in four hamlets of Serang Jaya Hilir Village with a qualitative research type using a quantitative descriptive method. In this study, the selection of respondents was carried out using the purposive sampling method, meaning that the data taken was based on community understanding related to the use of green betel leaves as traditional medicine, consisting of 10 respondents. The data is presented in the form of tables and graphs with data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study showed that people use green betel leaves to treat 10 types of diseases, including vaginal discharge, eye irritation, itching, bad breath, body odor, toothache, stomachache, cough, strengthening teeth, and nosebleeds. The method of processing and using betel leaves varies according to the type of disease, such as boiling, chewing, pounding, or rolling. Leucorrhea is the most frequently mentioned complaint, indicating public trust in the effectiveness of green betel leaves in traditional medicine. This study is important as education regarding the safe use and preservation of green betel leaf resources so that they remain sustainable. Suggestions, the need for further scientific studies on the active content, and side effects of green betel leaves, as well as innovation of processed products so that their use is safer and wider.

Abstract

Population growth and high consumption patterns have led to increased waste production. This encourages people to look for effective and economically valuable solutions. One potential action that can be taken is to convert organic waste into practical utilization as food for maggot (H. illucens). Maggot (H. illucens) is one of the decomposer organisms that has a fairly high nutritional content. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of various feed ingredients, including vegetable waste, rice husk and bran, on the growth rate of larvae (H. illucens). The study was conducted from October to November 2024 in Meurandeh, Langsa Lama, using experimental methodology with a Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) with 6 treatments and 4 repetitions for 21 days. P1: 100% bran, P2: 100% vegetable waste, P3: 100% rice, P4: combination (50% bran + 50% vegetable waste), P5: combination (50% bran + 50% rice), P6: combination (50% bran + 25% vegetable waste + 25% rice. The results showed that treatment A produced the highest absolute biomass of maggots (H. illucens), with an average of 204.25 grams, while treatment B recorded the lowest absolute biomass of maggots (H. illucens), with an average of 157.25 grams. And the highest organic waste composition for maggot length growth (H. illucens) The average length recorded in treatment E was 3.88 cm, while treatment F showed the shortest average length. The Anova results show that different feeding has no significant effect (P>1.112) total weight of biomass maggot (H. illucens), this shows that one of the elements that influence maggot growth is the quality of feed that is rich in protein and normal water content so that it can allow maggot to receive nutrients optimally.
