description |
Nilaparvata lugens, brown planthopper is an important rice pest that destroys
rice by feeding on the plant sap and causing a condition known as ‘hopper
burn’, where the plants are completely wilted, yellow and dried. The constant
use of chemical substances had built the resistance of pests toward chemical
insecticide. As an alternative, a more environmentally-friendly approach such
as the use of biopesticide should be implemented. Biopesticide formulation
which combined more than one active ingredient to produce joint toxicity effect
has gaining attention lately for its effectiveness. Thus, this study aims to
determine the synergism effect of Piper sarmentosum and Azadirachta indica
against N. lugens. Piper sarmentosum is a common herb used in cooking while
A. indica is known for its medicinal properties. Bioassay of the extracts against
N. lugens nymphs showed a synergistic effect from treatments T6, T7 and T9,
with mixture ratio of P. sarmentosum to A. indica at 6:4, 7:3 and 9:1. T9 caused
highest nymph mortality after 72 hours treatment. Emulsion formulations were
developed by mixing 5 % extracts combination from T6, T7 and T9 with 14.25
% carrier oil (Edenor), 76 % surfactant (Tween 80 and Termul 1284), and 4.75
% water. Six formulations coded as F1, F2, F3, F4, F5 and F6 had been
developed. Characterization, including stability, particle size, zeta potential, PDI
value, pH, and viscosity analysis, resulted in ideal nano emulsion size ranged
from 202.5 to 635.9 nm. Stability and thermostability tests that were performed
and successfully produced stable and homogenous nano emulsion. F4 can be
selected as the best formulation because it has the best zeta potential (-65.0
mV) and viscosity value (67.2 mPa/s), the size is in nano emulsion size range
(415.3 nm), remained homogenous for centrifugation and stability test, PDI
value indicated it is in ideal monodisperse phase (0.418), low surface tension
(35.2 mN/m) and low pH (4.0). The formulations were then used in nymph
mortality bioassay test on third instar N. lugens nymphs to evaluate the
formulation's efficacy against N. lugens. The lethal concentration, LC50 and sub
lethal, LC10 and LC25 were determined from bioassay. LC50 can control at least
half of the treated population, while LC10 and LC25 can control 10% and 25% of
population. Highest mortality can be seen on F2 (0.043 mg/l) and the lowest
was F5 (0.117 mg/l). The value of lethal and sub lethal concentration were

on fecundity of N. lugens. There are significant differences on the number of
eggs produced after treatments. F4 at LC50 was found to cause most effective
effect as it produced the least number of eggs produced, 114 eggs. In
conclusion, stable formulation can be developed following the current results
and findings. These will lead to the synergism efficacy of A. indica and P.
sarmentosum against N. lugens through emulsion formulations as joint toxicity
could have a better potency in controlling pests, compared to individual active
ingredient. |
