Abstract

Aedes aegypti is the main vector of transmission of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). The death rate from dengue fever in Indonesia is still quite high. As biolarvicides, celery stems (Apium graveolens L.) are known to contain alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and saponins. This study aimed to identify the biolarvicide effect of celery (Apium graveolens L.) stem extract on the death of Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae by examining the lethal concentration (LC₅₀) value. This research uses an experimental laboratory design with a post-test only control group. 6 groups made up the treatment group: the Aquades negative control group, the Abate 0.01% positive control group, P1 (5,000 ppm celery stem extract), P2 (10,000 ppm celery stem extract), P3 (20,000 ppm celery stem extract), and P4 (30,000 ppm celery stem extract). Each treatment used 10 instar III larvae, and each treatment was repeated two times. According the study's findings, at a concentration of 30,000 ppm (P4), the percentage of larval mortality reached 100%, resulting in the highest number of deaths of larval. The lowest larval mortality occurred at a concentration of 5,000 ppm (P1) with a larval mortality percentage of 55%. The LC₅₀ value of celery stem extract (Apium graveolens L.) was 4,518 ppm, which was in the concentration range of 258–7,531 ppm. This means that the concentration of 4,518 ppm of celery stem extract (Apium graveolens L.) is toxic because it causes 50% mortality of Ae. aegypti instar III. The Kruskal-Wallis test results showed that the p value (Asymp. Sig.) was 0.099 (0.099 > 0.05), which means that there was no difference in mortality of Ae. aegypti in different treatments at P1, P2, P3, and P4.
