Synthetic chemical insecticides havefrequently been used to eradicate mosquitoes, but are toxic to the body andresistance of adult and larvae mosquito Aedes aegypti has been reported. Thepresent study aims to assess the effect of essential oils of turmeric rhizomes(Curcuma domestica Val) against Aedes aegypti larvae METHODS This was an experimental study of post test one group design, performed intwo phases, using Aedes aegypti larvae as test organisms. In the first phase,laboratory-reared larvae were used for calculation of the LC50 and LC90, whilein the second phase the test organisms were larvae taken from 75 buildingsthat had been designated based on a preliminary survey in four sub-districts inBanjarbaru city with a high incidence of dengue cases. Probit analysis of wasused to calculate LC50 and LC90, and the Kruskal-Wallis test to determine thelarvicidal potency of turmeric rhizome essential oils. RESULTS This study demonstrates that turmeric rhizome essential oils effectively killedlaboratory-reared Aedes aegypti larvae at an LC50 of 9.239 ppm and an LC90 of13.565 ppm. The effectiveness of the essential oils of turmeric rhizomes(Curcuma domestica Val.) for killing Aedes aegypti larvae in residential areaswas 68%.CONCLUSIONTurmeric (Curcuma domestica Val.) rhizome essential oils can kill Aedesaegypti larvae, are environment friendly and can be used for the control ofmosquitoes.
