Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a disease that is commonly found in Indonesia.The method to control Aedes aegypti is mostly done by using a chemical insecticide, despite its have some side effects. Recent studies have shown that larvacides from plant extracts are safe for the environment. This research's aims are to know the effectiveness of LC_50, LC_90,LT_50, and LT_90 Mahkota Dewa fruit extract as an Aedes aegypti larvicide. Method: This was an experimental study with post-test-only-control-group design, consist of 9 treatment groups (concentration 0,125%, 0,25%, 0,5%, 0,75%, 1%, 5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%) and 2 control groups (positive and negative). The result was analyzed by using Shapiro-Wilk test, Kruskal Wallis test, Mann Whitney test and Probit test. The result on Kruskal Wallis test shows Mahkota Dewa fruit extract effective on the death of Aedes aegypti larvae, Mann Whitney test showed no significant difference between positive control group with concentration 2%, 2,5%, 3 % whereas between the negative control group and the treatment there were significant differences for all concentrations and in the Probit analysis are LC_50= 1,363 %, LC_90= 2,339 % and LT_50=1,850 hours, , LT_90= 11,946 hours. Mahkota dewa fruit extract in 3%, 2,5% and 2% are effective as larvacide to Aedes aegypti.
