TOXICITY OF DERRIS ELIPTICA BENTH. ON MORTALITY OF AEDES AEGYPTI LINN LARVAE

Abstract

The death of the three Aedes aegypti Linn larvae that were placed inside has been the subject of a study on the toxicity test of Derris elliptica (Benth). This study's objectives were to ascertain the effect of tuba root extract on the quantity of larval instars of three Aedes aegypti Linn, as well as to ascertain the concentration of tubal root extract that affected as larvaside by measuring Lethal Concentration (LC50). Experiment-based research is the type used. With seven concentrations and three replications over the course of 24 hrs, the research was carried out in partnership using a Randomized Complete Random Design (RAL) design. The probit analysis yields the LC50 result. The findings demonstrated that Derris eliptica extract, with an LC50 value of 125.99 ppm, had an impact on the death of instar larvae of three Ae. aegypti Linn.
