Abstrak

Diseases transmitted by mosquitoes are diseases that have a high risk of mortality and morbidity. One of the efforts to overcome the mosquito life cycle is by giving larvicides. The use of natural larvicides can be a safer alternative for health. Plants that have the potential as natural larvicides to kill mosquito larvae are papaya leaves (Carica Papaya). This study aims to determine the effect of giving powdered papaya california (Carica Papaya) leaves to the mortality of mosquito larvae. This research is a quantitative research with Intac Group Comparison research design. The research instrument used an observation sheet. Purposive sampling with a total of 50 samples were grouped into 4 treatment groups with a dose of 60 mg, 150 mg, 300 mg, 500 mg and 1 control group. Data analysis in the form of univariate analysis and using Wilcoxon statistical test. The lowest larval mortality was at a dose of 60 mg (10%) and the highest mortality was at a dose of 500 mg (60%). The results of the analysis in the 60 mg, 150 mg and 300 mg treatment groups obtained p-value > 0.05 so that there was no significant difference between the 60 mg, 150 mg, and 300 mg papaya leaf powder treatment groups and the control group. The 500 mg group had a p-value of 0.011 0,05 sehingga tidak terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara kelompok perlakuan bubuk daun pepaya dosis 60 mg, 150 mg, dan 300 mg dengan kelompok kontrol. Kelompok 500 mg memiliki nilai p-value 0,011 < 0,05, maka dapat disimpulkan terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara kelompok perlakuan bubuk daun pepaya konsentrasi 500 mg dengan kelompok kontrol.
