Abstract :
Demam Berdarah Dengue (DBD) masih menjadi permasalahan kesehatan masyarakat yang utama, sehingga diperlukan alternatif pengendalian larva Aedes aegypti yang efektif sekaligus ramah lingkungan. Jahe merah (Zingiber officinale var. rubrum) mengandung senyawa bioaktif seperti flavonoid, saponin, dan minyak atsiri yang berpotensi menjadi larvicide alami. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui efektivitas ekstrak rimpang jahe merah terhadap kematian larva Aedes aegypti serta menganalisis perbedaan rerata kematian larva pada berbagai konsentrasi. Penelitian memakai metode true experimental dengan rancangan posttest only control group design. Perlakuan meliputi ekstrak konsentrasi 3%, 5%, 7%, dan 9%, kontrol positif, serta kontrol negatif, dengan tiap kelompok berisi 25 larva dan empat kali pengulangan. Pengamatan dilaksanakan pada 6, 12, 18, dan 24 jam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kematian larva meningkat seiring bertambahnya konsentrasi dan lama paparan. Konsentrasi 9% menghasilkan kematian tertinggi sebesar 100% setelah 24 jam, sedangkan kontrol negatif tidak menyebabkan kematian. Uji Mann-Whitney menghasilkan nilai p=0,023 (p<0,05). Ekstrak rimpang jahe merah berpotensi sebagai larvasida alami terhadap Aedes aegypti.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nDengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a public health concern, signaling the need for effective yet environmentally friendly alternatives for managing Aedes aegypti larvae. Red ginger (Zingiber officinale var. rubrum) carries bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, saponins, and essential oils with potential as natural larvicides. This study set out to establish how red ginger rhizome extract affects the mortality of Aedes aegypti larvae and to compare larval mortality across extract concentrations. A true experimental method with a posttest-only control group design was adopted. The treatments covered red ginger rhizome extract at 3%, 5%, 7%, and 9%, plus positive and negative controls. Each group held 25 larvae with four replications. Mortality was recorded at 6, 12, 18, and 24 hours. Mortality rose as extract concentration and exposure time increased. The 9% concentration recorded the highest mortality, reaching 100% after 24 hours, whereas the negative control caused no mortality. The Mann-Whitney test yielded a p-value of 0.023 (p<0.05). Red ginger rhizome extract thus shows promise as a natural larvicide against Aedes aegypti.
