PEMANFAATAN JERUK PURUT (CITRUS HYSTRIX) SEBAGAI BIOLARVASIDA
Absctract: Citrus hystrix,
Biolarvicides. Insectisides and pestisides were used as larvicides to control
mosquito vector Aedes aegypti particularly. Some research suggested there had
been a larvae resistance to pesticides. Biolarvicides with basic ingredients
plant was another alternative that can be used. Lime (Citrus hystrix) was one
of plants that often used as biolarvicides, both lits fruit and leaves. This
paper aimed to know about chemical compound in lime and its potential as
biolarvicidal. Research methods was literature review from several research
journals. The results showed that the presence of coumpounds were essential
oil, flavonoids, saponins, terpeesn, limonoids, citronellal, linalool,
citronellol, acetate citronelil, kariofilin and geraniol. LC50 of lime leaves
as biolarvicides againts the third instar larvae of Aedes aegypti was 279.882
ppm, biolarvicides oxicity values (LC90) was 4000 ppm with the lethal time
(LT90) was 12.67 hours. Based on results of this study concluded that the
presence of the chemical content of Citrus hystrix plant potential as
biolarvicides.
