Abstract
The research purposed was compared of two extracts as molluscicidal activities from
root of Derris elliptica Wallich. and Pangium edule Reinw seed, that assessed to 3-month
old snails Pomacea canaliculata L. The Golden apple snails is widely regarded as worst
invasive pest species in the rice growing area. It normally destroys the young stems and
leaves paddy and could consume 7 – 24 rice seedlings per day. The experiment research
started with the mortality test of the golden apple snail, meanwhile hexane extract
fraction and etanol extract fraction have completely jumble mode; using the lethal
concentration (LC) have mean to describe short term potency of poisonous (toxicity)
from materials and can gave little effect or impact for environment; processing
phytochemical test from n-hexane extract and etanol extract of root D.elliptica and
P.edule showed positive to contain tanin, saponin and fenol. The data of LC
50
from n-
hexane fraction measure with probit analyze (9,905 mg L
-1
) by D.elliptica L. with high
toxic category, and n-hexane fraction (11,574 mg L
-1
) by P.edule Reinw. with toxic
category are more effective for golden apple snail control. The golden apple snail
mortality was highest using 5000 ppm n-hexane fraction showed 93,3% from D.elliptica
and using 5000 ppm n-hexane fraction from P.edule showed 63,3%. In conclusion, both
of extracts from D.elliptica roots and P.edule seeds was showed potency as botanical
mollusicicides and it can be apply in the field.
