The Influence of the Ethanol Extract of Bitter Vine (Mikania micrantha Kunth.) on the Mortality, the Hatchability of the Eggs and the Larval Growth of Aedes aegypti Linn.

: The research on the impact of the ethanol extract of M. micrantha leaf on the mortality, egg hatchability and larval growth of A. aegypti had been conducted using a Complete Randomized Design (CDR) with five treatments and replications. The mortality tests on 3rd instar larva with concentration treatments of the ethanol extract of M. micrantha leaves at 0.2%,0.4%,0.6%,0.8%, and 0.1%generated a LC 50 value of 0.58%.The ethanol extract of M. micrantha leaves at a sub-lethal concentration of 0,1%,0,2%,0,3%,0,4%,0,5%indicated a significant impact on the mortality, egg hatchability and larval growth (p≤0,05).A sublethal concentration at 0,4% of the plant was effective in suppressing the egg hatchability at a percentage of 41,6%, larval development into pupa at a percentage of 19.5% and pupae transformation into imago a percentage of 63,3%.
