EFFECTIVENESS OF THE LARVACIDE ETHANOL EXTRACT OF JACKFRUIT (Artocarpus heterophyllus L.) AGAINST Aedes aegypti LARVA

Highlights Jackfruit leaf extraction was performed by percolation method using 96% ethanol solvent with flavonoid, saponin, tannin, alkaloid, and steroid terpenoid test. extract effective as a larvicide against larvae of Aedes aegypti. Abstract Background: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is disease caused the dengue virus, which enters human bloodstream through bite mosquito genus. The DHF control program carried out breaking vector chain, aegypti larvae. underutilized jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus L.) leaves contain secondary metabolites that have potential to be larvicides. Secondary larvicides are flavonoids, saponins, tannins, alkaloids, steroids, terpenoids. Objective: This study determine effectiveness in controlling vectors most concentration an larvicide. Material Method: analytic observational cross-sectional design. conducted from March 2022 April 2022. data were analyzed SPSS Anova (parametric) Kruskal Wallis non-parametric. Result: In 243 gr method, yield 24.3%. larvae, even at 0.75%. LC50 results for total obtained 0.331% strong toxicity (poisonous). 2% yielded mortality value 91.2 8 hours 3% it 96 hours. Conclusion:
