Effects of Areca Catechu L. Seed Extract on Mortality Anopheles Vagus Larvae

Abstract

Bioinsecticide is an alternative to overcome larva resistence to insecticide and reduce environtment contamination. This research is to analyze the effect of areca seed extract to An. vagus larva. The research is taken time in 2017. The research design is laboratory experiment with post test only control group design. The areca seed and An. vagus larva are collected from Kabupaten Sumba Barat Daya, then the seeds were extracted with ultrasonic method. The effect of the extract is evaluated based on LC50 and LC90 value. The sample from 25 An. vagus larva instar III are released into areca seed extract on 500, 1250, 2000, 2750, 3500, 4250 and 5000 ppm and observed within 6, 12, 18 and 24 hours and 6 repetition. The data then analyzed with probit analysis and ANOVA. The areca seed extract eliminates An. vagus larva as much as 61.33% under 6 hours exposure with 5000 ppm, 52% larva mortality on 12 hours with 4250 ppm, 56% larva mortality on 18 hours with 3500 ppm, and 55% larva mortality on 24 hours with 2750 ppm. The value of LC50 and LC90 on 6, 12, 18 and 24 hours are 4654.374 and 6320,732; 3717.286 and 5127.489 ppm; 3201,473 and 4775,206 ppm; 2385,297 and 4496,708 ppm. There is variation of larva mortality percentage average on every concentration and exposure time, the higher the concentration and exposure time the higher An. vagus larva mortality.

Analysis of chemical compositions and larvicidal activity of nut extracts from Areca catechu Linn against Aedes (Diptera: Culicidae)

“…A previous study with A . catechu nut by Mading et al [ 35 ] showed that ethanol extraction with high concentrations showed mortalities in Anopheles vagus larvae. Similarly to recent studies by Ravindran [ 18 ] and Ravi et al [ 36 ], A .…”

Screening of natural product extracts for fly repellent and larvicide

“…aqueous crude extract which is the first reported. The previous studies reported the medicinal use of betel nut with various properties, helminthicide, mosquito larvicidal, antimicrobial, anti-venom, and antioxidant (Ahuja and Ahuja, 2011;Jaiswal et al, 2011;Tennyson et al, 2012;Arulpriya et al, 2013;Sari et al, 2017;Sarpangala et al, 2017;Mading et al, 2018;Yamson et al, 2019).…”

Efektivitas Ekstrak Buah Pinang Muda (Areca Catechu L.) Terhadap Kematian Larva Aedes Sp

“…Hal ini sesuai dengan peran ekstrak buah pinang muda (Areca catechu L.) yang mengandung senyawa polifenol, dimana senyawa golongan alkaloid, flavonoid dan tanin yang terdapat pada buah pinang, aktifitas dapat merusak sistem saraf larva dan memiliki aktivitas inhibisi enzim kolinesterase yang akan menyebabkan menurunnya koordinasi otot serta menghambat sistem pernapasan yang mengakibatkan kematian larva (Zulhar Riyaldi, 2018). Kandungan senyawa polifenol pada konsentrasi yang tinggi akan bersifat antifeedant bagi serangga, sehingga menyebabkan efek menurunkan aktivitas enzim pencernaan dan penyerapan makanan sehingga bersifat sebagai racun perut (Majematang Mading, 2018).…”
