- Abstract
The study to find out the effectiveness of Carica papaya leaf extract using contact poison on the termite Coptotermes sp., one of the most harmful types of termite, mortality was conducted. This research using an experimental research with Completely Randomized Design (CRD) in seven extract treatments and 3 replications. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and followed by Duncan test at 5% significance level is using to count mortality data and the loss of feed. The lethal concentration (LC) and lethal time (LT) were analyzed by Probit analysis. The results showed that through contact poison methods, the leaf extract of C. papaya Linn. is effectively applied to control termites and it functions most effective at a concentration of 1%. The lethal concentration (LC50) leaf extract of C. papaya Linn. is 0.157% and lethal time (LT50) is 3.976 days.
