LC 50 of Rind Durian (Durio zibethinus murr) Extract to Mortality of Aedes aegypti Larvae

Abstract

One of durian parts is its rind which contains essential oil, flavonoid, saponin, cellulose, lignin, as well as 11 starch content. Those content can be used as a larvacide against Aedes aegypti larvae. The aim of this research is to analysis LC50 of durian rind extract to mortality of Aedes aegypti larvae. In this research, we used the experimental method. Aedes agypti larvae are 440 larvae instar III divided into 12 groups which are negative control, positive control, durian rind extract with a concentration of 1%-10%. To identified the influence of durian rind extract to mortality of Aedes Aegypti larvae, data were analyzed using Probit Analysis with the program IBM SPSS Statistic 21.0. On the Probit Analysis, durian rind extract that could kill larvae 50% (LC50) is at concentration 7,76%. Based on that analysis, durian (Durio zibethinus murr) rind extract has an influence to mortality of Aedes aegypti larvae.
