JENIS BIOAKTIVITAS TERHADAP RAYAP TANAH (Coptotermes sp.) di KALIMANTAN BARAT

Abstrak

The damage caused by Coptotermes Sp. is usually controlled conventionally by the society using the antitermite pesticides. These pesticides contain synthetic chemical compound which have negative impacts such as ecosystem instability, residues in harvested crops and its processed materials, environmental pollution, and poisoning to death. The efforts to avoid the negative impacts require some other alternatives in the termite controlling. The alternatives which can be applied is the use of natural anti-termite or bioactivity. This research used a literature review method. The data obtained is taken from studies of national journal discovered through Google Scholar within the last 10 years. The result showed that Citrus aurantifolia, Cymbopogon citratus (DC.) Stapf., Rhizophora mucronata Lamk., Aetoxylon sympetalum, Etlingera wlatior (Jack) R.M.Sm, Citrus hystrix, Citrus maxima (Burm.) Merr., Etlingera elatior, Morinda citrifolia L., and Citrus nobilis Lour. contain bioactive compounds/secondary metabolites which are effective against the mortality of Coptotermes Sp., The most effective bioactivity consists of plants, namely Citrus aurantifolia, Aetoxylon sympetalum, Etlingera wlatior (Jack) R.M.Sm, Etlingera elatior, Morinda citrifolia L., and Citrus nobilis Lour./1with a mortality percentage of 100% against Coptotermes Sp.
