Piper betle as bio-pesticides for house flies (musca domestica)

Abstract

Piper betle is a native Indonesian vines with essential oil composition consisting of phenol compounds and phenolic derivatives of propenyl, eugenol, carvacrol, chavicol, cavibetol, alylpirokatekol, cavibetol acetate, alylpirokatekol acetate, cineol, estragole, methylene, p-cyan sesquiterpenes, and flavonoid compounds; which works as a nerve poison and results in the rapid death of insects. The study used a Factorial design with CRD Structure, 2 replications. It aims to determine the effect of Piper betle leaf extract on the death of Musca domestica, at 6 variations of concentration (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%) and 4 variations of contact time (15, 30, 60, and 120 minutes). The research subject was Musca domestica aged 5 days which was developed from residential areas, with a total of 10 treatments each. The analysis technique uses ANOVA with SAS 9.4. The research proves that Piper betle can be used as an alternative bio-pesticides to Musca domestica. The influencing variables are the concentration of Piper betle extract (P-value <0,000), contact time (P-value <0,000), and concentration and contact time interactions (P-value = 0,0007). Concentration shows a very strong association with the death of Musca domestica and all three variables show that the Power of Test is close to 100%.
