Abstract
Subterranean termite attacks on cajuput ( Melaleuca cajuputi ) seedling roots were widespread in several of Java’s Perum Perhutani Forest Management Units. This attack was suspected to be related to the chemical components of the cajunput seedling roots. This study was conducted to determine the bioactivity of cajuput seedling root extract as an attractant for the subterranean termite Coptotermes curvignathus Holmgren (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae). The extraction process was performed according to ASTM D1108-96, and the extract was characterized using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Bioactivity testing of the extracts was carried out using attractiveness and no-choice feeding bioassays. The results showed that the average root extraction yield from cajunput seedlings was 4.94%. The attractiveness of the extract solutions at concentrations of 0.50%, 0.75%, and 1.00% were 45.33%, 62.00%, and 74.67%, respectively. The mortality rate of C. curvignathus termites ranged from 9.63% to 24.44%. Cajuput seedling root extract’s lethal concentration 50 was 2.45% (non-toxic). GC-MS analysis showed that the extract contained linoleic acid, which has the potential to attract insects.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the Korean Wood Science and Technology (JKWST) launched in 1973 as an official publication of the Korean Society of Wood Science and Technology has been served as a core of knowledges on wood science and technology. The Journal acts as a medium for the exchange of research in the area of science and technology related to wood, and publishes results on the biology, chemistry, physics and technology of wood and wood-based products. Research results about applied sciences of wood-based materials are also welcome. The Journal is published bimonthly, and printing six issues per year. Supplemental or special issues are published occasionally. The abbreviated and official title of the journal is ''J. Korean Wood Sci. Technol.''. All submitted manuscripts written in Korean or English are peer-reviewed by more than two reviewers. The title, abstract, acknowledgement, references, and captions of figures and tables should be provided in English for all submitted manuscripts.
