Biolarvicide Activity of Male Breadfruit Flower Causes Mortality of Anopheles sp. Mosquito Larvae Malaria Vector

Abstract

This study aims to determine the biolarvicidal activity of male breadfruit pollen causing mortality of Anopheles sp. malaria vector. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD), in which 600 Anopheles sp. divided into 8 groups with 3 replications, Anopheles sp. placed in 24 plastic cups, where each plastic contains 25 Anopheles sp. larvae. The results obtained were analyzed by Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and continued with the Duncan test at real rate a = 0.05 using SAS software and continued with the smallest significant difference test to determine the difference in the treatment given. Then a LC50 probit analysis was performed to determine the concentration of breadfruit pollen biolarvicide which is good at 50% mortality of Anopheles sp. mosquito larvae. The results showed that male breadfruit powder concentrations of 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, and 6% had a biolarvicidal effect causing mortality of Anopheles sp. mosquito larvae with an effective concentration of 6% (97.2% mortality), of which 50% mortality ( LC50) of Anopheles sp. occurred at a concentration of male breadfruit pollen at a concentration of 3.95%.
