Toxicity and persistence of two formulations based on Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis applied to Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae were tested under laborabory conditions. The formulations were: a) water dispersible granules (product VectoBac WDG), and b) aqueous suspension (product VectoBac 12AS). The effects of both products on mosquito larvae were tested immediately after their dilution in pure water (zero time) and in 1-, 2-, 8- and 13-day old solutions. The two products were also tested in mixtures of water and clay at a rate of 0.5 g clay/150 ml water immediately after product dilution, and in one-day old solutions containing 0.1 and 0.05 g of clay in the same amount of water. The product VectoBac WDG was persistent and highly effective against Ae. aegypti larvae in pure water after the longest experimental period of 13 days, and significantly more effective than VectoBac 12AS at equal rates of application. The effectiveness of VectoBac 12AS weakened significantly after 8 and 13 days of treatment, compared to the effects at zero time and in 1- and 2-day old solutions. High clay content in water significantly reduced the larvicidal effectiveness of both products, indicating its possible compromising role during product application in practice.

Natural Way

The bio-control agents are those organisms that manage the pest population in natural way and keep them below the economic threshold and are thus applied by the agency of man. This process is known as bio-control or biological control. They are foes to the pests and are thus beneficial and a friend for us. There are many pathogens (Bacillus thuringiensis, Bt cotton), parasites (parasitoids, ex. Parasitic wasps, tachinid flies) and predators (ex. Gambusia fish against mosquito larvae) that can be applied as bio-control agents. Many are being used as effective pest control agent in Europe and United States of America. There is lots of potential in this field and more explorations and researches need to be done in an agricultural country like India.

AbstrakPengendalian vektor penyakit demam berdarah (DBD) di Indonesia menggunakan larvasida temephos telah berlangsung lebih dari 30 tahun, oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan penelitian untuk mengetahui efektivitas temephos dan Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis yang merupakan larvasida jenis baru dari agen biologi terhadap larva nyamuk Aedes aegypti. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbandingan efektivitas temephos dengan B. thuringiensis var. israelensis terhadap mortalitas larva nyamuk Ae. aegypti dari tiga Kecamatan di Samarinda, yaitu Kecamatan Samarinda Utara Kelurahan Gunung Lingai, Samarinda Ulu Kelurahan Air Putih dan Sungai Kunjang Kelurahan Loa Bakung. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode bioassay. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa temephos tidak efektif untuk membunuh larva nyamuk Ae. aegypti dari tiga kelurahan yang diamati, dengan LC50,24jam sebesar 1,88–2,24 ppm dan LC90,24jam sebesar 2,07–3,59 ppm. Sementara itu, B. thuringiensis var. israelensis masih efektif untuk membunuh larva nyamuk Ae. aegypti dari ketiga kelurahan yang diamati, dengan LC50,24jam sebesar 0,93–1,00 mL/50 L air dan LC90,24jam sebesar 1,05–1,11 mL/50 L air. Hal ini berarti penggunaan B. thuringiensis var. israelensis dengan dosis yang dianjurkan pemerintah masih efektif untuk mengendalikan populasi nyamuk Ae. aegypti.AbstractThe control of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) vector in Indonesia using larvicide temephos has been ongoing for more than 30 years. Hence, it is necessary to assess the effectiveness of temephos compared to Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis which is a new type of biological larvacide agent against Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of temephos compared to B. thuringiensis var. israelensis against mortality of Ae. aegypti mosquito larvae sampled from three subdistricts in Samarinda namely Samarinda Utara Subdistrict Gunung Lingai, Samarinda Ulu Subdistrict Air Putih, and Sungai Kunjang Subdistrict Loa Bakung. The method used was bioassay. The results showed that temephos was not effective in killing Ae. aegypti mosquito larvae from the three subdistricts observed, with LC50.24 hours by 1.88–2.24 ppm, and LC90,24 hours by 2.07–3.59 ppm. Meanwhile, B. thuringiensis var. israelensis is still effective in killing Ae. aegypti mosquito larvae from the three subdistricts observed, with LC50.24 hours by 0.93–1.00 mL/50 L of water and LC90,24 hours by 1.05–1.11 mL/50 L of water. Those results mean that the application of B. thuringiensis var. israelensis with the recommended dosage of the government is still effective in controlling the population of Ae. aegypti.
