REPELLENCE OF AEDES AEGYPTI BASED ON CITRUS AURANTIFOLIA AND ANNONA MURICATA

Abstract

Aedes aegypti is the main vector of dengue virus infection. Natural control of the vector aims to reduce resistance and disturbance to the environment. This research developed natural insecticides from the peel of Citrus aurantifolia S. and leaves of Annona muricata L. The Purpose of the study determine the concentration of Citrus aurantifolia S. and Annona muricata L. extracts as repellents Aedes aegypti. This study used a complete randomised design on the factorial pattern, factor A (level A1: peel of Citrus aurantifolia S. extract and A2: leaf of Annona muricata L. extract) and factor B (concentration level of b1:15%, b2:30%, b3:45%, and b4:60%). The data was analysed using two-way ANOVA. The results of data analysis showed factor A=F (0.030)<Ftable (4.49), there was no significant effect, factor B=F (5.423)>Ftable (3.24) there was a significant difference, factor AB=F (0.751)<Ftable (3.24), there was no significant difference. The concentration of botanical insecticides has a significant effect on the Aedes aegypti mosquito repellent. Leaf of Annona muricata extract with a concentration of 60% has the most effective ability as a repellent for Aedes aegypti.
