Research Center for Biomaterials developed...

The efforts in establishing sustainable pest management drive termite control not only focus on extermination, but also concern human health and environmental protection. Bioactive compounds isolated from Bintaro (Cerbera manghas) have been reported to biological activity against insect such as food deterrent, oviposition growth inhibitor, contact poison. study efficacy of oleic acid C. manghas seed extract subterranean Coptotermes gestroiand Drywood Cryptotermes cynocephalus has thoroughly...

We conducted surveys of termite assemblages and tree trunks damaged by termites in teakwood (Tectona grandis L.f.) plantations. The were five-, six-, nine-year-old used a standardized belt-transect to collect build inventories. Data collected at the genus functional-group levels termites’ diversity between plantations compared with their attack rate. results showed that four genera soil recycler belonging groups IIf III present across Distribution analysis suggested communities might develop...

Linear and geometric morphometrics approaches were conducted to analyze the head capsule (HC) shape of collected soldier caste specimens Coptotermes from various locations in Indonesia. The soldiers’ morphology was observed measured. results principal component analysis group all species showed two important groups variables, i.e., body size setae characteristics pronotum head. multicollinearity morphometric variables importance measurements as well alternative such (PrS) HC setae. Four...

Abstract Toba, North Sumatera is famous not only for its tourism destination but also biodiversity. The aim of this research to explore the potency local plant from Toba as bioinsecticide. Six samples, which consists genus Compositae, Meliaceae, Staphyleaceae, and Actinidiaceae, were obtained region,. macerated extracts tested their insecticidal activity against Coptotermes gestroi Spodoptera litura. Bioassay results showed that leaves extract Ingul ( Toona sinensis ) at a concentration 10%...

Isolation of entomopathogenic fungi and their extracellular enzyme activity from rhizosphere soil were carried out. Soil samples collected under Arecaceae plant collection a shrub in Bogor Botanic Garden, West Java; another gathered forest floor on peat land Sebangau National Park, Central Kalimantan. Insect bait method was used to catch by using Coptotermes sp. termites Xystrocera festiva larva the laboratory. A total 38 fungal isolates belonging 18 species 12 genera successfully isolated...

Abstract The Indo-Malayan drywood termite, Cryptotermes cynocephalus (Light) (Kalotermitidae), is considered one of the most invasive termites in Southeast Asian region. Once infesting a timber, colony termite very difficult to be controlled. Thus, best way mitigate new infestation by applying chemical protection on wood. In recent years, particular attention has been given researchers develop and use organic termiticides, such as essential oils extracted from plants active ingredients....

Abstract Mosquitoes are known for their bites which caused discomfort and its role as vector various dangerous diseases that has been the bane of humanity since antiquity. One them is Culex quinquefasciatus facilitates spread arbovirus nematodes debilitating impact human life. To eliminate mosquito, study evaluating plant-based mosquito larvicidal extract Cerbera odollam against C. was conducted. Twenty-five second instar were subjected to crude fractionated extracts , larval mortality...

Powderpost beetles such as Lyctus africanus are a common pest group for dried cured wood, causing significant harm to wood and products. We examined the life span effects of aging mating status on pheromone production in powderpost beetle L. (Coleoptera: Lyctinae). Experiments compared starved unstarved male groups, chemical analysis was used determine factors affecting production. Regarding lifespan, provided food survived up 14 weeks, while died before fifth week. Thus, an adult may...

The utilization of pesticides often leaves residues which potentially pollute the environment. This journal issue has been encouraging some researchers to find an environmentally friendly insecticide by a cheaper wood preservative method. International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures 15 (ISPM 15) [1] that is adopted in packaging protection Europe not suitable tropical countries like Indonesia. Therefore, treatment Organo-Complex-based preservation, consists copper chromium combined with...

Abstract Insoluble metaborates were formed by impregnating wood with borax and metallic salts, the biological resistance of samples treated was evaluated. The double-diffusion process carried out to form metaborate precipitates in sapwood specimens Japanese cedar ( Cryptomeria japonica ). Water-saturated first impregnated a saturated solution then diffusion-penetrated solutions zinc sulfate or copper different concentrations. In laboratory-scale termite tests at five concentrations from 3%...

Abstract The domestic drywood termite, Cryptotermes domesticus (Haviland), has been referred to in past literature as a native species originating the Southeast Asia region. come prominence due its destructive damage dried wood log by creating passages and nests inside wood. Its economic importance makes one of monitored inter-island transport part biosecurity initiative Indonesian Government. In present study, we collected termites’ specimens from four locations Riau Province, Sumatra...

Termites and fungi play an important role through promotion of essential ecological processes in ecosystems such as soil modification rehabilitation, also decomposition lignocellulosic materials. However, termite is known pest toward vegetation, while can cause bio-deterioration problems. Biodiversity evaluation termites are for sustainable management area planning botanical garden. Hence, this study reviews the importance recording biodiversity garden Batam, Riau Island Province Kuningan,...

Due to the climate change and global warming, biodiversity database has gained attention of government. In line with Indonesian Biodiversity Strategy Action Plan (IBSAP), we have collected plants insecticidal activity based on local wisdom. This program aimed protect from deforestation along loss number species. research’s goal was evaluate termiticidal antifungal properties some plant extracts Turgo forest area, Mt. Merapi National park, Java. Three potential were evaluated. Based...

Abstract Termite species diversity and assemblage structures differ in ecosystems habitats. distribution is also highly influenced by temperature, humidity altitude. Greater richness greater density have been reported humid forests than arid or semiarid environments. However, termites biodiversity known to be strongly affected anthropogenic alteration, wich affect their functional structure. The humus-feeders were as the most sensitively affected, while wood-feeders resilient group among...
