Abstract

This research is laboratory experimental in nature and was analyzed using Analysis of Variance and continued with Duncan's test, with 95% confidence (α=0.05) using SAS software. The results showed that giving clove leaf steeping could reduce uric acid levels in the blood of Rattus norvegicus rats. Clove leaf infusion (Syzygium aromaticum L.) contains flavonoids which have xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity, including luteolin, apigenin, kaemferol, and quercetin. In addition, Vitamin C can reduce oxidative stress and inflammation which affect the decrease in uric acid synthesis. Other compounds, namely tannins, alkaloids, and saponins have the same role as flavonoids, namely reducing the activity of the enzyme xanthine oxidase in serum and increasing the concentration of uric acid in the urine, as well as binding free radicals during the conversion of purines into uric acid. Infusion of clove leaves doses of 0.09g, 0.18g and 0.36g can reduce uric acid levels in the blood of rats (Rattus norvegicus) with an effective dose of 0.36g.

Abstract

Cabbage leaf caterpillars (Plutella xylostella L., Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) are the main pests that are very damaging to Brassicaceae plants, especially cabbage, mustard greens, and caisin in Indonesia. The chemical content of lemongrass is citral, citronella, geraniol, mirsene, nerol, farnesol methil heptenol and dipentene. The purpose of this study was to determine the effective concentration of Plutella xylostella pest mortality and the right LC50 value of Plutella xylostella pest mortality. This research is experimental using a completely randomized design. The subjects were 50 plutella xylostella L. Instar III pests. The concentrations used were 10 g, 20 g, 30 g, 40 g with negative control 0 g (aquades) with 5 repetitions for each treatment group. Observations were made 24 hours after spraying and the results obtained were an increase in pest death with increasing concentration. Based on the results of analysis of variance seen in the calculated F value (41,962)> F table (2,866). This proves that the administration of lemongrass stem extract significantly influences the mortality of Plutella xylostella in mustard plants (Brassisca juncea). The results of LC50 probit analysis were obtained at the concentration of lemongrass extract at 21,277% with a lower limit of 17,782 and an upper limit of 24,824, meaning that at a concentration of 21,277% lemongrass extract was able to kill 50% of the Plutella xylostella pest used after 24 hours of administration at a 95% confidence level.

Abstract

Honey bees (Apis mellifera) on Romang Island are scattered at several different points with abundant populations. The research location was carried out at two points, namely the first location is near residential areas, the height above sea level is approximately 10 meters, tends to be more crowded while the second location is far from settlements, the height above sea level is approximately 350 meters. The variables measured were the different metamorphosis phases of egg, larva, pupa, adult; temperature, food sources such as flowering plants, forest plants or fruit trees around the site. The difference in the time of metamorphosis of honey bees in the first location, seven days for laying eggs, five days for larvae, nine days for pupae, and seven days for adults while in the second location is six days for eggs, five days for larvae, ten days for pupae, and three days for adults. So the metamorphosis of honey bees in a quiet location and away from settlements shows a shorter duration compared to locations near settlements.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the types of plants used by the village community as traditional medicine and to find out how to use these types of medicinal plants. The research was conducted in Waai Village, Central Maluku District, Salahutu District. This research was conducted using survey methods and interviews with the community using a list of questions. The sampling technique was purposive sampling, the sample was determined as much as 15% of the total village population in Waai which consisted of 1500 heads of families and as many as 225 respondents were designated as heads of families. The results showed that there were 71 species of medicinal plants from 45 families. The most used plant parts are leaves, whole plants, fruit, roots, stems, rhizomes and tubers. Medicinal plants are generally used by the village community to cure ailments, aches and pains and to increase milk production. The utilization process is simple, by boiling, smoking, squeezing, rubbing and grating.
