Uji Beberapa Konsentrasi Ekstrak Tepung Akar Tuba (Derris Elliptica Benth.) Terhadap Mortalitas Larva Helicoverpa Armigera Hubner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Hama Pada Jagung Manis
Corn is one of the important food crops besides rice. The variety of corn that is in
great demand by the public is sweet corn (Zea mays saccharata Sturt). The main
pest that often attacks sweet corn plants is Helicoverpa armigera Hubner. Pest
control can be carried out using botanical insecticides of tuba roots
(Derris elliptica benth.). This research aims to obtain a concentration of tuba root
flour extract which was effective against Helicoverpa armigera Hubner. The
research was conducted at the Plant Pest Laboratory and Organic Chemistry and
Natural Material Laboratory, Faculty of Engineering, Riau University. It was
started from January to March 2020. This research used a completely randomized
design (CRD) with five treatments and four replications so that 20 experimental
units were obtained. The treatments given were various concentrations of tuba
root flour extract, namely: 0%, 0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75% and 1%. The results showed
that the difference in the concentration of tuba root flour extract had a significant
effect on killing Helicoverpa armigera larvae. The concentration of 0.75% is
effective in controlling Helicoverpa armigera larvae because it has been able to
kill Helicoverpa armigera by 85% with the fastest initial death time at 3.75 hours,
lethal time 50 at 17.00 hours after application.
