EFEKTIFITAS CAMPURAN DAUN KAYU PUTIH (Melaleuca eucadendra) DAN LIMBAH KERTAS HVS SEBAGAI BIOATRAKTAN PADA RAYAP TANAH (Coptotermes sp)
Abstract: At recent year,
termite control strategies is still using of synthetic termiticide which is
applied either by soil treatment, wood preservation or impregnation of the
thermiside into the target. This control technique is very effective and beable
to protect buildings and agricultural crops from termite attack, on the other
hand, synthetic termite can pollute the environment and potentially poison to
human. Therefore, it is necessary to develop termite control technology using
baiting system, which is made from natural material as environmentally
friendly. Eucalyptus leaves are potentially used as attractants for termite
control by bait method. The test was conducted in two methods: no-choice test
and two-choice test, using 5 treatment composition, eucalyptus leaves: official
waste paper, 80%: 20%, 60%: 40, 40% : 60%, 80% : 20%, and 0% : 100% as control.
The results showed that the mixing of eucalyptus leaf (Melaleuca leucadendra)
and official waste paper at composition of 60%: 40% was effective as
bioatractant to termites (Coptotermes sp).
Keywords: bio-attractants,
