POTENSI EKSTRAK BUNGA TAHI KOTOK (Tagetes erecta) SEBAGAI REPELLENT TERHADAP NYAMUK Aedes aegypti YANG AMAN DAN RAMAH LINGKUNGAN

The high number of cases and the incidence of DHF in endemic areas led to many prevention efforts being undertaken. One of the prevention efforts against mosquito bites is using spray (spray), mosquito coil (coil) and using mosquito coil. Repellent which is widely used by society to refuse is synthetic repellent which is the result of synthesis in the laboratory. Given the use of synthetic repellent raises many negative effects, may be necessary. The development of flower-based repellent (Tagetes erecta) which functioned as anti-mosquito has not existed. The aims of this research is to know the potential of Tagetes extract as anti-mosquito Aedes aegypti which are safe and friendly environment. This research was conducted at Integrated Science Laboratory of University Muhammadiyah Metro. This study was experimental and used a Completely Randomized Design (RAL), with 3 variations of 0% concentration (as a negative control), positive control using market repellents, 1st treatment with 6% concentration, 2nd treatment with concentration 8 %, and third treatment with concentration 10. A number of replicates 3 times. The number of Aedes mosquitoes in each and the control of 10 tails. Anova Non-Parametric 1 lane trials to strengthen the difference between 3 groups of data or more coming from 1 independent variable with position, rank, or ordinal position data. The data obtained were also analyzed using the Power Protection formula. The results showed that the protection power at 10% concentration of 88.86%, while the lowest protection at 6% concentration of 47.76%. This research needs to be developed further by using different solvent and extraction methods to know the strength of its protection against Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. The output of this research is product repellent drug, textbook, poster and journal publication. Kata kunci : bunga tahi kotok (Tagetes erecta), repellent, Aedes aegypt
