Resistance is a decrease in the level of sensitivity of a pest populations that causing a previously effective pesticides becoming ineffective. This case is caused by inappropriate insecticides application, continuous use, only one type of pesticide and usage for long periods of time. There are a lot alternative source of insecticides which is more effective and environmentally friendly. One alternative source of insecticides that can be used for pest control is plants. This study aimed to determine the potential toxicity of methanol extract of N. tabacum, B. asiatica, V. zizanoides, A. indica, and T. vogelli on the mortality and development time of A. aegypti mosquito larvae. The research was conducted at the Laboratory of Pesticides and Environmental Toxicology, Department of Plant Pests and Diseases, Faculty of Agriculture, Padjadjaran University, Jatinangor. The experiment was performed using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 6 treatment and 4 replication. The result showed that methanol extracts of the test material were toxic to the larvae A. aegypti with the highest the lowest toxicity were at the concentration of 0.001% i.e treatment of T. vogelli, N. tabacum, B. asiatica, A. indica, and V. zizanoides with the successive rate of mortality (45%, 65%), (37.5%, 60%), (32.5%, 50%) and (32,5%, 47.5%). Besides being toxic, the methanol extract also influenced development of A. aegypti larvae.

The decrease in rice production can be caused by pests that can damage the quality and quantity. Pests that always attack rice plants are Brown planthopper. The BPH causes several effects, namely hopperburn, as a virus vector and can cause crop failure. The control of BPHs by farmers to date is by using synthetic pesticides. The use of synthetic pesticides can cause residues, resistance, resurgence, and the destruction of natural enemies. The use of synthetic insecticides can be minimized by using environmentally friendly and sustainable control alternatives, namely by using the local entomopathogenic fungi B. bassiana. This study aims to determine the effect of the application of local Riau B. bassiana on BPH and rice production.The research was conducted at the Laboratory of Plant Pests and Experimental Gardens, Faculty of Agriculture, Riau University from April to July 2020. The research was designed a completely randomized design with five treatments local entomopathogenic fungi concentrations B. bassiana 0 g.l-1 water, 10 g.l-1 water, 20 g.l-1 water, 30 g.l-1 water, 40 g.l-1 water and four replications, in order to obtain 20 experimental units. The results showed that application of Riau local B. bassiana with a concentration of 40 g.l-1 for six days was able to cause the highest mortality of 92.5%. The higher the concentration of Riau local B. bassiana, the lower the attack intensity. The attack of brown planthopper nymphs affects the quality of rice production, but did not affect the quantity of rice production.

ABSTRACTPumpkin (Cucurbita moschata (Duch.) Poir ) is one of the vegetables that is rich in β-carotene as a precursor of vitamin A and has a fairly high carbohydrate content. Pumpkin processing can be done to produce various kinds of products, one of which is cake. Cake is a baked dough and liquid dough made from flour, sugar, salt, ingredients, shortening, milk, eggs, and aroma enhancer. This study aims to determine the levels of β-carotene contained in pumpkin cake and to determine the acceptability of β-carotene in pumpkin cake. This research is an experimental research. The experimental design used was Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 1 control 4 treatments and each treatment was repeated 3 times. The research phase consisted of making flour and making cake. Data collection methods include organoleptic tests and β-carotene tests. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance / ANOVA to determine differences in quality, and if there is an influence then proceed with the Tukey test. Organoleptic test results show that the best treatment of pumpkin cake in terms of color is A1 with a value of 3.88, in terms of aroma namely A0 with a value of 3.92, in terms of texture is A0 with a value of 4.28 and in terms of taste is A0 with value of 4.16. As for the β-carotene test, the treatment of pumpkin cake with the highest β-carotene content was found in A4 with an average of 0.262 and the lowest level was in A0 with an average of 0.018. Based on research data, pumpkin flour is worthy of being used as an alternative source of flour because the resulting cake meets SNI quality standards both in terms of color, taste, aroma, texture and β-carotene content.Keywords : Cake, Pumpkin, β-Carotene, Organoleptic
