Spodoptera litura F. is a plant pest organism (OPT) on shallot plants that must be prevented so that shallots become productive. One way to prevent it is good and not to damage the environment is the use of tumangsari plants in the form of celery plants. The purpose of the study was to determine the effectiveness of celery (Apium Graveolens L.) as a pest population of Spodoptera Litura F. Repellent Plants in the Cultivation of Shallots (Allium Ascalonicum L.) in Pesanggrahan Village. This research is an experimental study using a randomized block design (RAK) pattern, one way ANOVA test data analysis technique with 5% significance and post hoc follow-up test with the smallest difference analysis. The results showed that celery plants were effective in suppressing Spodoptera litura F. pest attacks. The most effective treatment was 4 PTS treatment which could reduce Spodoptera litura F. population and zinc intensity of Spodoptera litura F., which were 1.66 and 0, respectively. 15%.

BUDIDAYA TOGA SEBAGAI UPAYA PENGEMBANGAN DESA DALAM BENTUK TAMAN TEMATIK DI KELURAHAN SEPINGGAN BALIKPAPAN

The outbreak of several diseases in the community makes it uncomfortable to live. One of them is dengue fever (DHF) which is currently being felt by the people of Sepinggan Village, RT. 33 Balikpapan. The origin of the emergence of mosquitoes is due to people's lifestyles that are not clean, such as puddles/floods, lack of lighting, messy and dirty goods. Based on the SWOT analysis conducted by the team together with the Sepinggan village head, the planting of TOGA creates many future opportunities that can be widely applied, especially in tackling DHF. Thematic parks here are more focused on making TOGA places with attractive and beautiful designs. Besides that, in order to complete the thematic garden, a hydroponic pakcoy planting medium is also made that can be used by the community or commercialized. The purpose of this activity is to make efforts to reduce dengue cases by using TOGA as a mosquito repellent plant. In addition, the benefits of TOGA can also be directly used as a kitchen spice and health. Moreover, when the product is worthy of sale, the product can be sold by the public. In addition, RT 33 of the Sepinggan sub-district can also be better known by the public thanks to mass media articles, seminars and aftermovie videos. Keywords: TOGA, Thematic Park, Sepingan Village

NATURAL INHIBITOR OF AGRONOMICALLY REPELLENT PLANT TOWARDS CLINICAL ISOLATE OF CHLORAMPHENICOL RESISTANT-SALMONELLA TYPHI

Objective: This study was purposed to determine the most effective inhibition among those repellent plants i.e. The leaves of kirinyuh (Chromolaena odorata), kenikir (Cosmos caudatus), bandotan (Ageratum conyzoides), grass teki (Cyperus Cyperus rotundus), lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) and suren (Toona sureni) towards S. typhi clinical isolate.
 Methods: The ethanolic extracts of sixt plants were obtained by maceration method using 70% ethanol. Phytochemical screening was done using the standard methods as described by Farnsworth. The inhibition of the repellent leaves ethanolic extracts to chloramphenicol resistant-S. typhi clinical isolate assayed using the agar diffusion method and statistically analyzed by ANOVA followed by the Duncan test. The most potential plant was further determined by investigating the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) value using the microdilution test.
 Results: As the result, all ethanolic leaves extracts contain alkaloids, flavonoids, and tannins, except that tannins were not found in C. rotundus and A. conyzoides. However, all extracts had the activity to inhibit the growth of S. typhi. T. sureni leaves extract evidently showed the strongest inhibition with MIC value in the range of 1.5625<x≤3.125 mg/ml and the MBC value in the range of 6.25<x≤12.5 mg/ml. The ratio of MBC/MIC≤4, thus, T. sureni leaf extract may be classified as a strong bactericidal agent.
 Conclusion: In summary, T. sureni extract leaves achieved the most appreciable value of MIC MBC and considered as the bactericidal agent which has strong potential to be a novel anti-typhoid fever agent.

Prospects for Integrating Augmentative and Conservation Biological Control of Leaffolders and Stemborers in Rice

Possibilities to combine augmentative biological control using Trichogramma spp. egg parasitoids and conservation biological control through habitat manipulation, for the management of rice leaffolder and rice stemborer pests have received only cursory mention in the literature. We reviewed information on the use of Trichogramma releases and on habitat manipulation to manage leaffolders and stemborers in rice. Stemborers have become a priority for biological control since the 1990s with research focusing mainly on Chilo suppressalis in China and Iran, Scirpophaga incertulas in South and Southeast Asia, and Chilo agamemnon in Egypt. In most cases, 100 K wasps (T. japonicum or T. chilonis) released over 30–100 release points ha−1 at least once during early crop stages, resulted in good control (>50% reduction in damage). Despite positive results accumulated over decades, larger scale releases in rice have only been conducted very recently. Research on conservation biological control of stemborers has focused on manipulating rice field habitat, particularly along rice bunds (levees). Several studies reported higher Trichogramma densities or greater egg parasitism in rice fields with flowering plants on bunds compared to control fields (without bund vegetation and usually with insecticides). These trends have mainly been attributed to nectar as a supplementary food for the adult wasps, although evidence for this mechanism is weak. Trap plants, such as vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides) attract ovipositing stemborers, but suppress larval development. Repellent and banker plants have not yet been identified for rice stemborers or leaffolders. We outline the opportunities and challenges for combining augmentative and conservation biological control of leaffolders and stemborers in rice.

Dengue fever is a disease spread by the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. Dengue fever is a problem both in Indonesia and in several other countries. World Health Organization (WHO) Indonesia has the highest number of dengue hemorrhagic fever cases in Southeast Asia. This type of research is non-experimental or descriptive quantitative research. Quantitative research is research that requires an activity to collect data then processed and analyzed and then made a presentation of data in terms of the number or volume of objective execution. There are also objectives carried out to prevent dengue fever through Mosquito Control Activities (PSN), including 3M Plus activities such as draining reservoirs, closing reservoirs, burying old items, recycling old items and sowing larvicides, using mosquito nets, using mosquito repellent, planting mosquito repellent plants.

Determinant Factors Related to the Event of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) in the Work Area of Payung Sekaki Health Center, Pekanbaru Regency

Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) or dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is currently one of the public health problems in Pekanbaru, Riau. The research design is an Unmatched Case Control Study. The case population is all DHF sufferers from 2019-2021, totaling 194 people and the control population is all non-DHF cases in the same period when DHF occurred in 2019-2-2021, totaling 7,624 people. The number of samples is 180 cases and 180 controls. Data were analyzed by univariate, bivariate and multivariate. The results of multivariate analysis, the most influential variables were the habit of hanging clothes (95% CI = 2,970-8,557), the use of repellents during the day (95% CI = 2,272-6,307), knowledge about dengue transmission (95% CI = 2,108-5,892), presence of larvae (CI 95% = 1.716-4.760), sleep during the day (95% CI = 1.699-4.699). The determinant factors related to the incidence of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF ) in the Working Area of the Payung Sekaki Health Center are the presence of larvae, daytime sleep habits, hanging clothes habits, daytime use of repellants and knowledge of dengue transmission. While mosquito repellent plants, education, age and gender. It is recommended that the Health Center conduct health education so that people do not hang clothes that have been used, use repellents during the day, do 3M (closing water reservoirs, draining bathtubs, burying), not sleeping during the day and if sleeping during the day need to use tools or mosquito repellent.

RESPONSE OF Bemisia tabaci Genn TO THE ASSOCIATION TOMATO−AROMATIC PLANT

The silverleaf whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) is the most harmful pest for vegetables in tropical zones. One alternative for its ecological management is the use of repellent aromatic plants. The hypothesis of this study is that the aromatic plants that diminish the attraction of B. tabaci to tomato have the capacity to prevent the infestation of this pest in the tomato crop when an intercropping system of tomato-aromatic plant is established. The objective of this study was to evaluate by means of the technique of olfactometry, the response of B. tabaci to the volatiles emitted by the crushed leaves of tomato and by the combination tomato + aromatic plant. The aromatic plants with highest activity in the olfactometry tests were intercropped in a tomato crop in the field. In the bioassays of olfactometry, a significant decrease was observed in the attraction of B. tabaci to crushed leaves of tomato + some aromatic plants compared with the attraction to tomato alone. The repellence indices (IR) showed that the aromatics Lavandula angustifolia Mill. (IR, 0.1), Petiveria alliacea L. (IR, 0.48), Petroselinum crispum Mill. (IR, 0.28) and Thymus vulgaris (IR, 0.5) had the greatest effect as repellent of adults. By integrating these aromatic species through intercropping in the tomato field crop, no significant difference was observed in the population density of eggs and adults of B. tabaci in the tomato foliage in regard to what was observed in the control (only tomato). The incidence and severity of viral symptoms did not decrease from the presence of the aromatic species intercropped in the tomato crop.

Plant Volatiles and Herbivore Induced Plant Volatiles from Chili Pepper Act as Attractant of the Aphid Parasitoid Aphelinus varipes (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae).

Plants have evolved a number of different chemical defenses, covering nearly all classes of (secondary) metabolites, that represent a major barrier to herbivory: some are constitutive; others are induced after attacks from herbivores (HIPVs) and may elicit the attraction of predators and parasitoids. Here, we studied how the female solitary endoparasitoid Aphelinus varipes responds to plant and host aphid volatiles in a series of experiments on five commercially important vegetables that were either healthy or infested with the aphid Myzus persicae: chili pepper, eggplant, crown daisy, Chinese cabbage and cabbage. The results for the olfactory responses of A. varipes showed that the presence of M. persicae increased the attraction of the endoparasitoid to the infested plants. In a second experiment, volatiles from highly attractive and repellent plants were obtained via headspace collection to investigate volatiles from healthy and aphid-damaged plants. The results for the differences in volatile profiles in response to aphid infestation in chili pepper cultivar were dominated by the volatile blends, including α-pinene, decanal and phthalic acid, while in cabbage they were dominated by isophorone. Moreover, when HIPVs with different concentrations were compared, α-pinene at a dose rate of 100 ng/μL attracted more parasitoids, and the comparison was useful to understand the mechanisms of plant secondary volatiles during aphid infestation and to provide new resources to control this insect pest. Overall our study shows how HIPVs can bolster tritrophic interactions by enhancing the attractiveness of parasitoids.

Predictive Index Using Receiver Operating Characteristic and Trend Analysis of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever Incidence

BACKGROUND: The city of Bandung is an endemic area of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). Increased cases of DHF in the area have influenced the mortality rate. The number of deaths due to DHF in 2019 was 14 people. AIM: This study aims to analyze the epidemiological determinants and to observe the trend of analysis to project DHF cases. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study used a case-control design. The case population is those who have DFH, while the control population is those who do not have DHF. There were 510 respondents included in this study. Samples were taken using a purposive sampling technique. Epidemiological determinants were analyzed using the Chi-square test and logistic regression, while the trend of the disease was analyzed using exponential smooth analysis. RESULTS: The result of this study showed that education (p = 0.036), the presence of mosquito larvae (p = 0.000), container materials (p = 0.002), water containers (p = 0.025), mosquito nets (p = 0.010), the presence of solid waste (p = 0.002), mosquito repellent plants (p = 0.041), and mobility (0.004). The most dominant epidemiological determinant was the presence of mosquito larvae (odds ratio = 3.2). The predictive index of DHF can predict people who are sick with DHF among the sick population is 68.6%. CONCLUSION: This study concluded that the significant epidemiological determinants are education, the presence of mosquito larvae, container materials, water containers, mosquito nets, the presence of solid waste, and mosquito repellent plants. Among those determinants, the presence of mosquito larvae is the most dominant factor. This study also concluded that there will be an increase in DFH cases over the next 5 years. Hence, it is important to increase larvae free index by empowering Kader Juru Pemantau Jentik (JUMANTIK) in Bandung and conducting epidemiological surveillance.

Modelling the geographical distribution of plant species reported as anti-malaria and mosquito repellents in Burundi

The conservation and sustainable management of plant species require knowledge of their potential distribution areas and of the factors driving this distribution. A study modeling the distribution of ten flagship plant species reported as anti-malaria and mosquito repellents in Burundi was carried out, with a view to contributing to the establishment of conservation priorities in Burundi, which could also be a reference for other countries. The study was conducted in the four phytogeographic districts of Burundi. It was based on 98 samples from a field data collection on anti-malaria and mosquito repellent plants from Burundi and plant specimens kept at the University of Burundi Herbarium. Potential distribution areas were determined using the Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) spatial interpolation tool in ArcGIS 10.5 software. The geographic distribution and the ecological factors likely to influence this distribution were determined. The spatial interpolation show that the ten plant species reported as antimalarial and/or mosquito repellent in Burundi can be predicted in all the phytogeographic districts of Burundi. According to the available literature, seven of the ten species belong to the category of widely distributed species. The study shows that there are some differences in terms of distribution especially in the Mosso-malagarazi district. This could be explained by ecological conditions, typical of the lowlands. The distribution models obtained in this study will guide the sustainable plants management in Burundi and elsewhere. In order to increase the production of essential oils and phytochemicals, we recommend the use of these models to identify potential growth sites of the ten anti-malaria and mosquito repellent plant species.

Malaria prevention interventions beyond long-lasting insecticidal nets and indoor residual spraying in low- and middle-income countries: a scoping review

BackgroundSignificant progress in malaria prevention during the past two decades has prompted increasing global dialogue on malaria elimination. Recent reviews on malaria strategies have focused mainly on long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS), with little emphasis on other prevention methods. This article is a scoping review of literature on malaria prevention methods beyond LLINs and IRS in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).MethodsThis scoping review found articles published between from 1994 to 2020. Studies were obtained from a search of the PubMed, the Cochrane Library and Social Science abstracts. Grey literature and manual search of secondary references was also done. The search strategy included all study designs but limited only to English. Three independent reviewers performed the selection and characterization of articles, and the data collected were synthesized qualitatively.ResultsA total of 10,112 studies were identified among which 31 met the inclusion criteria. The results were grouped by the 3 emerging themes of: housing design; mosquito repellents; and integrated vector control. Housing design strategies included closing eves, screening of houses including windows, doors and ceilings, while mosquito repellents were mainly spatial repellents, use of repellent plants, and use of plant-based oils. Integrated vector control included larvae source management. Evidence consistently shows that improving housing design reduced mosquito entry and malaria prevalence. Spatial repellents also showed promising results in field experiments, while evidence on repellent plants is limited and still emerging. Recent literature shows that IVM has been largely ignored in recent years in many LMICs. Some malaria prevention methods such as spatial repellents and IVM are shown to have the potential to target both indoor and outdoor transmission of malaria, which are both important aspects to consider to achieve malaria elimination in LMICs.ConclusionThe scoping review shows that other malaria prevention strategies beyond LLINs and IRS have increasingly become important in LMICs. These methods have a significant role in contributing to malaria elimination in endemic countries if they are adequately promoted alongside other conventional approaches.

Integrating land use plans in malaria control with mosquito repellent plants in homesteads in Tanzania

Apart from the conventional malaria control schemes over the decades, there is gradual growing interest in multipurpose plant species with repellence activity against mosquitoes and other nuisance organisms in the homesteads. Ethnobotanical study in selected districts in Tanzania employed statistical Use Value (UV) model to rank and recommend priority repellent plants used by local communities. The five top ranking repellent plant species according to UV analysis were Ocimum basilicum, Hyptis suaveolense, Azadirachta indica, Cocos nucifera and and Schinus mole. Qualitative assessment of repellence activity for selected plants was performed in different forms such as smoking, infusion and natural scent to validate repellence activity. Basic soil parameters viz. Ca, Mg, Na, P, N, organic matter, cation exchange capacity and pH from the plants habitats were determined to facilitate transplanting of recommended plants in new environments. Community perception on planting non-traditional crops on the home yards was assessed to aid in developing plans for integrating repellent plants among other land use priorities on the homesteads. The envisaged long term impact is creation of microclimate complex at rural homesteads simultaneously capable of providing diverse domestic needed plant products while controlling mosquitoes and other non-friendly organisms from the homesteads.

Soil water repellence increased early wheat growth and nutrient uptake

PurposeSoil water repellence causes uneven soil wetting which can constrain dryland crop and pasture establishment and yield. The same processes are likely to affect nutrient availability from soil and fertiliser, but the effects of repellence on crop growth and nutrition per se have seldom been reported. Here, we investigated early wheat (Triticum aestivum cv. Mace) growth and nutrient uptake responses to repellence.MethodsWheat was furrow-sown in severely repellent sandy loam soil (with a wettable furrow base to allow for germination) or completely wettable soil, under uniform plant density and variable topsoil thickness (20 or 100 mm) and fertiliser band placement (below or away from the seed). Tiller number, shoot dry matter, shoot N concentration, total nutrient uptake, and root length density (RLD) were determined.ResultsContrary to expectations, repellence significantly increased tiller number (by up to 2 tillers per plant), shoot dry matter (by 82%), shoot N concentration (by 0.3% N), and total nutrient uptake (by 87%) at 51 days after sowing, regardless of topsoil thickness and fertiliser placement. In the furrow, RLD of repellent treatments was also nearly double that in wettable treatments when fertiliser was banded below the seed. Results suggest that preferential soil wetting of the furrow in repellent treatments favoured plant nutrient uptake under regular but low water supply.ConclusionWe conclude that for water-repellent soils with limited water supply, water harvesting techniques such as furrow sowing and banding wetting agents could boost water and nutrient uptake and early crop growth.

Prevention of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) by Planting Lemongrass at SMK 17 Agustus 1945 Surabaya

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a disease caused by the dengue virus which is transmitted through the bite of the Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is caused by the dengue virus and is transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which is characterized by a sudden fever of two to seven days without a clear cause, weakness or lethargy, restlessness, heartburn accompanied by signs of bleeding on the skin in the form of bleeding spots, bruising or rashes. sometimes nosebleeds, bloody stools, vomiting blood, decreased consciousness or shock. This PKM aims to provide detailed information about DHF and how to prevent DHF using lemon grass. After participating in this lesson, participants are expected to be able to understand what dengue is, the benefits of lemongrass and know how to plant lemongrass in their neighborhood. The method used in this research is to conduct counseling and distribute pretest and posttest. The results show that this community service program can increase students' knowledge by 64.3% related to the dangers of dengue fever, the benefits of lemongrass as a mosquito repellent plant and how to plant lemongrass correctly.

Penyuluhan Tentang Demam Berdarah (DBD) dan Tanaman Pengusir Nyamuk Di Lingkungan Kecamatan Manggala Kota Makassar

Manggala District is one of the sub-districts in Makassar City which often faces cases of Dengue Fever. Dengue fever is a disease transmitted through the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. The breeding of Aedes Aegypti is increasing due to the increasingly crowded conditions of buildings and housing. These mosquitoes not only live in dirty water environments, but also in clean water such as bathtubs, water reservoirs, and others. Some community members still have limited knowledge and understanding of effective ways of dealing with dengue cases, as well as the use of plant species that can be used to repel mosquitoes. The purpose of the service is to increase the knowledge and understanding of the community about dengue fever and the use of mosquito repellent plants. The extension method is the presentation by the extension team, the discussion stage, and the evaluation stage. The results show an increase in public knowledge and understanding of dengue disease and the use of mosquito repellent plants. The conclusion is that the community finally knows the dangers of dengue disease and knows the types of mosquito repellent plants.

Research on eco-restoration of damaged Agro-ecosystem by new biodiversity technology

Henan Province is a typical key area of Chinese main agricultural and food planting. However, a key eco-restoration of degraded farmlands issue needs be resolved by biodiversity technology. Because sustainable agro-ecosystem quickly growth must inject new technology, just as nitrogen-fixing plants can replace the using of chemical nitrogen fertilizers, insect repellent plants can replace the use of chemical insecticides, (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) wood populations surrounding the damaged agricultural ecosystem can block wind impacting on the death of wheat, “plants of soil and water conservation” can avoid the loss of water and nutrients around farmland in low mountain and hilly areas in typical key area of Henan Province of Chinese. This work firstly has been resolved eco-restoration of damaged agro-ecosystem by biodiversity technology.

Pepper weevil, Anthonomus eugenii (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) suppression on jalapeño pepper using non-host insect repellent plants

Pepper weevil, Anthonomus eugenii Cano is the most harmful insect pest of pepper, Capsicum annum L., an important crop in Florida and several other states in the southern region of the United States. All commercially cultivated peppers, including jalapeño peppers, are susceptible to pepper weevil. The use of broad-spectrum insecticides is the primary management tool for controlling pepper weevil. Their continuous use has led to the development of resistance and elimination of natural enemies. Therefore, alternative approaches are needed for effective control. Studies were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of intercropping non-host insect repellent plants (Ocimum basilicum L. (basil), Tagetes patula L. (marigold), Brassica oleracea L. (cabbage), and Coriandrum sativum L. (cilantro)) with jalapeño pepper on pepper weevil population suppression. Each of the four non-host plants consisted of individual treatments and were compared to a jalapeño pepper only (untreated control), or a jalapeño pepper with a standard insecticide regimen of thiamethoxam (positive control). Parameters evaluated include the number of pepper weevil adults on plants, number of infested fallen fruit, and marketable yield. Infested fruit collected from each treatment plot were dissected to evaluate pepper weevil (adult, pupae, and larvae) density. The non-host plant treatments reduced the number of pepper weevil adults found on jalapeño plants, infested fruit, and pepper weevils in infested fruit but not marketable yield when compared with the control treatment. This information is a step forward into finding a sustainable approach for the management of pepper weevil.

Efecto insecticida de plantas aromáticas en combinación con dos tipos de biol en algunas plagas del cultivo de maíz

The use of repellent plants data from some time ago where its effectiveness has been demonstrated used in different ways. The study of the use of two types of bioles in combination with repellent plants against three types of pests in the corn crop is presented as a proposal for the use of friendlier ones for the control of insects. Two types of bioles were used, one based on bovine manure (EB) and the other based on chicken manure at three different concentrations (5%, 10%, 15%) using as part of their ingredients some aromatic plants that have repellent effect such as mint, basil, neem, rue among others in contrast to a conventional control (chemical insecticide). As a result, it was obtained that in general the effect of both bioles compared to the conventional control there were no significant differences, except for the chicken manure-based biol with a concentration of 15% (EG3), which was repellent on the larvae of S. frugiperda. Although no significant difference was shown in the treatment of the biol based on 15% bovine manure (EB3) compared to the control, the results suggest that the higher the concentration of the biol a repellent effect arises on the larvae of S. frugiperda, Diatraea sp. and Heliotis sp. In this context, it is suggested that the application of bioles either based on bovine manure or chicken manure with the combination of repellent plants as ingredients and a higher concentration may reduce the actions of lepidopteran larvae in corn cultivation.
