| dc.description.abstract | Granules extract of clime fruit (Citrus aurantifolia L.) is a biolarvasida in
eradicating Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae L. Granules extract of lime fruit (Citrus
aurantifolia L.) can kill mosquito larvae because its content of limonoida, tannin,
flavonoid, and volatile oil. The compound is lethal to the larvae which will enter the
body of the larvae of the Aedes aegypti L. mosquito which disrupts the systems in its
body. The purpose of this article is to determine the safety of lime fruit (Citrus
aurantifolia L.) extract granules on non-target animals, namely tadpoles. Tadpole has
the same habitat with mosquito larvae so it is done safety test of citrus fruit extract
granule (Citrus aurantifolia L.). Tadpole is a larval phase in Amphibi that continues to
experience morphological development in water. The initial phase of tadpoles growth is
a phase of adaptation to its habitat. Individuals who can not adapt well will experience a
faster death. The research method used is laboratory experimental. The analysis used is
ANOVA. The independent variables in this study were the variety of granules extract
concentration of citrus fruit (Citrus aurantifolia L.). Tadpole mortality became the
dependent variable in this study. Tadpole mortality is characterized by tadpoles
collapsing at the time of administration of granules. The results showed that the lime
extract granules (Citrus aurantifolia L.) proved safe. | en_US |
