Abstract

One of the few countries with high humidity levels, it can cause poor air quality and an increase in diseases such as dengue fever. Dengue fever is a disease caused by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. Due to the large number of cases of dengue fever, various types of drugs have emerged to treat this condition. Predator, genetics, pathogen and parasite control, as well as physical, biological and chemical control are several ways to control larvae. Efforts to control mosquitoes can be made by using mosquito repellent repellents by using plants that come from nature which contain essential oils as environmentally friendly repellents. One of the plants that contain essential oils is soursop leaves and ylang-ylang flowers. The aim of this research was to determine the effectiveness of soursop leaves and ylang-ylang flowers as larvicides to eradicate mosquito larvae. This research is experimental in nature with the samples used, namely Culex type mosquito larvae. This research was conducted at the Biology Laboratory, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta. The samples for this study were 28 containers with an initial number of larvae of 25 individuals. The results showed that there were several mosquito larvae that experienced death with the lowest mortality in F1D1 with an average of 20 deaths and the highest mortality in F3D3 with an average of 23.67 deaths. Mosquito larvae experienced death with the highest time at 9 hours of observation and the time of death decreased at 12 hours of observation. The use of larvicidal extracts from soursop leaves and ylang ylang flowers is more effective in reducing the number of mosquito larvae with F3 having the highest average number of deaths with a dose of 2.5 g of soursop leaves: 7.5 ylang ylang flowers within 9 hours.

Abstract

Mustard production in Indonesia in 2022 decreased by 2.9% from the previous year, caused by the Plutella xylostella attack. Efforts to control P. xylostella usually uses synthetic pesticides but harms the environment, so other alternatives are needed. Vegetable pesticides derived from Berenuk fruit (Crescentia cujete) containing phenol compounds, alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, steroids, and saponins have the potential to control the population of P. xylostella. This study aimed to determine the effect of berenuk (C. cujete) extract on P. xylostella mortality. This study used an experimental method with a research design in the form of a Randomized Group Design consisting of 6 treatments and 4 replicates, namely the provision of test extracts with concentrations of 0%, 6.25%, 12.5%, 25%, 50%, and 100%. Observations of mortality of test larvae were made at 24, 48, and 72 hours after the test. Based on Probit analysis for LC10, LC25 and LC50 showed that for LC10 = 1.377%, LC25 11.549% and LC50 the lowest was 55.9%. Berenuk fruit extract (C. cujete) affects the mortality of P. xylostella; the higher the concentration of the extract, the higher the ability to control the population of Plutella xylostella.

Abstract

This study aims to observe the effect of Indole Butyric Acid (IBA) concentration and coconut water on the growth of orchid plant shoots of Cattleya sp. In vitro using the tissue culture method. The research was conducted at the YAHDI Tissue Culture Laboratory from March to July 2024. There were 9 treatments with a combination of IBA concentrations (0, 1, 2 mg/l) and coconut water (0, 50, 100 ml/l), which were repeated 3 times each, resulting in a total of 27 experimental units. The variables observed included the time of emergence of shoots, the number of shoots, the number of leaves, and the height of the plantlet. The results showed that a coconut water concentration of 100 ml/l provided the best bud growth, while an IBA concentration of 1 mg/l and coconut water of 100 ml/l produced the highest number of leaves. However, variance analysis showed that the application of IBA and coconut water did not have a significant effect on the number of shoots, the number of leaves, and the height of orchid plantlets at the age of 6 MST. Observations showed that the interaction between IBA and coconut water was not optimal enough to stimulate bud growth, and the use of younger orchid leaves gave the best results. This study provides insight into the use of coconut water in tissue culture to improve the growth of Cattleya orchids, although its effectiveness is still limited to certain concentrations.
