I. INTRODUCTION
An important problem often faced by farmers or agricultural
and agribusiness practitioners in cultivating crops, both
food crops, plantations and horticulture is pest attacks. Pest
attack is a limiting and even determinant factor in efforts to
cultivate plants. Pest attacks occur from the beginning are
still in the nursery or nursery until harvest time even in
storage even pests are inevitable so that these pests can
reduce crop production both in quantity and quality, not
infrequently even pests of agricultural crops can thwart the
harvest resulting in large losses (Rumape, 2013).
Until now, the most common control used by cabbage /
sawi greens (Brassicaceae) vegetable farmers is spraying
synthetic insecticides with high application frequency.
Cabbage farmers usually control pests that attack cabbage
plants by spraying synthetic insecticides on average more
than 10 times in one growing season (Rauf et al., 2005).
Besides the lack of interest of farmers to use non-chemical
control methods, the selection of control methods is carried
out because synthetic insecticides are considered more
effective and efficient in their use.
Plants have been widely known to produce various types of
secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, terpenoids,
alkaloids, saponins and others that can act as an attractant,
repellent and as an antifeedant that is useful as a means of
self-defense (Bernays and Chaman 1994; Prijono, 2008)
which can harm the organisms that attack the plant. This
shows that plant secondary metabolites have the potential to
be used as plant protection agents. Plants that have been
isolated by researchers containing active compounds of
vegetable insecticide are soursop seeds (Annona muricata)
with LC50 = 117. 27 ppm (Komansilan et al. 2012), and
tubal roots (Barringtonia asiatica Kurz) with Lethal
Concentration LC50 = 44, 7 5 ppm (Komansilan et al. 2017).
Starting from the problem of using synthetic insecticides
and increasing awareness of environmental sustainability, a
safer control method is now being sought, one of which is
the use of plants as botanical insecticides. The use of
botanical insecticides has several advantages, including
being easily biodegradable in the environment and
relatively safe against parasitoids (Dono & Prijono, 1998;
Schmutterer, 1997). One of the plants that has the potential

as a plant-based insecticide is Barringtonia asiatica L.
Kurz.
Several types of plants Meliaceae and Annonaceae have
been known to have insecticidal activity. Lately there have
been many reported types of plants from other families
whose insecticide activity has only been limited reported.
Syahputra et al., (2010)reported that several species of plant
species from Clusiaceae, Lecythidaceae and Sapindaceae
were active against insects. Information on the insecticide
activity of plant preparations from the three families is less
than the information on the activity of plant preparations
Meliaceae or Annonaceae.
From Barringtonia asiatica L. Kurz seed extract, the active
ingredients formulas are liquid (L) and Wettable Powder
(WP). Both of these formulas can be used as components in
a vegetable insecticide formulation. Vegetable insecticides
need to be made in the form of formulas to facilitate
storage, transportation and application in the field
(Kardinan, 2005). In the formulation of B. asiatica seed
extract, it is necessary to know the resistance of the active
ingredients contained in the formula of B. asiatica seed
extract, especially against abiotic factors such as rainfall
and exposure time in the field. Both of these abiotic factors
affect the degradation of active compounds of pesticides
(Moniharapon, 2001; Syahputra, 2005), thus potentially
reducing their effectiveness. Information about this
resistance is needed to determine the interval of application
of these pesticides and compare the effectiveness between
formulas and with other insecticides such as microbial-
based biological insecticides or synthetic insecticides.
Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research on the
residual activity of B. asiatica seed extract formulations as
they have been applied to sawi plant pests.
II. RESEARCH METHODS
A. Research Location and Time
This research was conducted at the Laboratory of Integrated
Sciences, Laboratory of Chemistry and Physics Laboratory,
Faculty of Science, Manado State University. The study
was conducted from May to September 2019, starting from
the sampling phase, phytochemical screening extraction and
testing of antifeedantactivity.
B. Materials and tools
The material used is hutun seeds (Barringtonia asiatica L.
kurz ) taken from the coast of the bay of Manado,
Malalayang city , North Sulawesi Province. The materials
used are 70% ethanol and 95% for maceration of hutun seed
sampling, technical methanol, acetic acid, sulfuric acid,
chloroform, 5% FeCl 3 % solution, Dragendorf reagent,
Meyer reagent, tissue, cotton, whattman filter paper no. 42,
aluminum foil, plastic samples, sawi leaves, and caterpillars
Plutella xylostella.The tools used are analytical scales, petri
dishes, vial tubes, Erlenmeyers, goblets, measuring cups,
volumetric pipettes, fillers, test tubes and tube racks, drop
pipettes, 50 mL and 100 mL measuring flasks and rotary
vacuum evaporators (Heidolph-Laborota 4000/4001
efficient).
C. Experiment Design and Data Analysis
This study uses a Completely Randomized Design (CRD)
as a treatment that is the concentration level of methanol
solvent 50 ppm, 100 ppm, 500 ppm and 1000 ppm as well
as positive control / negative 0 ppm. Each treatment was
repeated 3 times. The parameters observed were the
percentage of Feeding Reduction (FR) or% antifeedant and
phytochemical screening / screening tests for ethanol
extracts of hutun seeds (Barringtonia asiatica L. kurz). The
data obtained were analyzed using one-way analysis of
variance (ANOVA). If the treatment has a significant effect
on the inhibition of eating Plutella xylostella caterpillars on
sawi plants(Brassicajuncea), then further testing of LSD or
LSD at 5% significance level.
D. Research procedure
Hutun Seed Extraction (Barringtonia asiatica L. kurz)
Forest seed samples were obtained from Malalayang Dua
beach coasters, Malalayang District, Manado City of North
Sulawesi. The extract material used in this study was the
seeds of the hutun plants which grew along the coast of
Malalayang Dua. Making the hutun seed extract is done by
weighing 1400 grams of the hutun seeds that have been
dried at room temperature, then immersed in ethanol
(maceration) for 1 x 24 hours in the maserator. Maceration
is done several times until it is extracted. The solution was
the result of extraction then filtered using Whatman 42 filter
paper.
The filtrate obtained was then put into a vaccum evaporator
at 400
C until the ethanol solvent evaporated to obtain a
thick ethanol extract. Further extraction results obtained
were weighed using analytical scales. To make the test
solution, a dilution was carried out using technical methanol
solvent which was re-distilled. The concentration of the
hutun seed extract used in this study was 50; 100; 500 and
1000 ppm. While the control (0 ppm). Each treatment was
repeated three times.
E. Preparation of Test Larvae / Caterpillars

Plutella xylostella caterpillar obtained from sawi plantations
in the village of Rurukan,East Tomohon District, Tomohon
City, North Sulawesi. Plutella xylostella caterpillars
are maintained and propagated in the Integrated Science
Laboratory,Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences,
Manado State University, in a wooden cage with screen
walls where the Plutella xylostella caterpillar is placed in a
plastic container placed in a cage. Plutella xylostella
caterpillars are fed pesticide-free sawi leaves during
maintenance. Sand mixed soil is used as a medium for the
Plutella xylostella caterpillars when they turn into pupae.
On the top of the culture box a cotton swab is hung which is
tied to a rope and has been dipped in a 1 mL honey mixture
with 10 mL water. Honey solution serves as a food source
for Plutella xylostella imago. The pupae then hatch into
moths that will reproduce and lay their eggs on sawi plants.
The eggs will hatch into larvae instar I to instar III.
Furthermore, third instar larvae will be used in antifeedant
activity testing.
F. Antifeedant Activity Testing
The test was carried out using the leaf disc method
according to (Atta et al. 2001). On sterile petri dishes are
placed wet filter paper / tissue and gauze and the filter paper
is coated with transparent plastic that has been perforated.
Leaf discs are made with a circle the size of a petri dish on
sawi leaves that have not been given synthetic pesticides.
Leaf discs to be made are the same in size, shape and
thickness. Leaf discs were dipped in each extract sample
and compared with positive control. The study was
conducted with three repetitions. Leaf discs are dipped /
applied for 5 minutes then aired for 5 minutes. After
aerating, the leaf disc will be weighed and put into a
prepared petri dish.
Plutella xylostella caterpillars were added as much as 1
caterpillar in each petri dish, petri dishes containing leaf
discs and test caterpillars would be observed to avoid the
caterpillar avoidance response to leaf discs that had been
given each extract concentration. Observations are made
after 24 hours. Antifeedant activity testing is done by
looking at the nature of the Feeding Reduction of the
sample. The parameter to be observed is the weight of the
remaining leaves that are not eaten by the larvae or Feeding
Reduction (FR). Leaf discs were then weighed, to find out
the weight of sawi leaf discs eaten by Plutella xylostella
caterpillars, the percentage of Feeding Reduction (% FR)
was used. The percentage value of Feeding Reduction is
measured by the formula (Atta et al., 2001):

G. Phytochemical Screening
Phytochemical Test Work Procedures (Ayoola, et al.,
2008 & Farnsworth, 1966)
A certain amount of viscous extract was carried out
by phytochemical tests which aimed to determine the class
of compounds contained in the seeds of the forest
(Barringtonia asiatica L. kurz). Phytochemical tests were
carried out on the group of Alkaloids, Flavonoids, Phenols,
Saponins, Triterpenoids, Steroids, Terpenoids, and Tannins.
a. Alkaloid Test
One gram of ammonia extract was added to 10% and then
extracted with chloroform and added 1 N hydrochloric acid.
The extraction results will be divided into two layers. The
upper layer (acid layer) is divided into two tubes. In one
tube Meyer reagent was added, while in the other tube
Dragendorf reagent was added. Yellow indicates a positive
alkaloid.
b. Flavonoid Test
Two methods are used to test Flavonoids.
1. Dilute ammonia (5 mL) is added to the aqueous
filtrate portion of the extract. Then concentrated
sulfuric acid (1 mL) is added. A missing yellow
indicates flavonoids.
2. A portion of the extract is heated with 10 mL ethyl
acetate which has been evaporated for 3 minutes.
The mixture is then filtered and 4 mL of the filtrate
is shaken with the addition of 1 mL of aqueous
ammonia solution, the formation of a yellow color
indicates the presence of flavonoids.
c. Phenol Test
To one gram of extract was added 1% iron (III) chloride.
Green / red / purple / blue / black colors indicate positive
phenols.
d. Saponin Test
One gram of extract is added to water then boil in a water
bath for 5 minutes, after which it is shaken vigorously.
Saponin is positive if foam forms stable for ± 30 minutes.
e. Triterpenoid and Steroid Test
Anhydrous acetic acid was added to the extract until it was
submerged; leave for ± 15 minutes. After that, add 1 drop of
concentrated sulfuric acid. Green / blue deposits indicate
steroids, while red / orange deposits indicate triterpenoids.
f. Terpenoid Test

A number of extracts were added with 2 mL chloroform.
Then carefully added concentrated H 2 SO 4 (3 mL) to form
a layer. The formation of a brownish red color indicates
terpenoids.
III. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Insects will face two things to start eating activities, first
there are stimuli to initiate feeding activities
(feedingstimulants) in plants that provide input signals for
the introduction of food types and maintain eating activities.
The second is detecting the presence of foreign compounds
(foreigncompounds) which are as a food inhibitor so that it
can shorten the activity of eating or stop eating altogether.
Based on the results of interviews with farmers spraying the
area of sawi plants where pest control of Plutella xylostella
caterpillars still relies on the use of chemical pesticides.
Spraying interval with chemical pesticides is carried out for
3-4 days, while the recommended use of pesticides is
ideally once a month. This results in faster selection of
insect resistant to insecticides. The use of botanical
insecticides was also not carried out because given the vast
land area making it less practical to apply. According to
Dono et. al.1988, insect resistance to synthetic insecticides
can be broken using botanical insecticides, due to the
different mechanism of action of the two insecticides. In
addition, one of the advantages of botanical insecticides is
that it is difficult to cause an immune (resistant) reaction on
the target pest so it is safe for the balance of the ecosystem.
Based on the results of research the influence of ethanol
extracts of hutun seeds (Barringtonia asiatica L. kurz)
produces data that is the activity of eating / food inhibitors
(FeedingReduction). The results of eating obstacles Plutella
xylostella caterpillars can be seen in Table1.

Based on the table above, data on eating activity can be
seen from the percentage of food resistance at a
concentration of 50 ppm for 1,2,3 replications of 1 %, 18 %
and 9 %, while for a 100-ppm concentration of 25.3 %, 25.7
% and 2 5.7 %. At concentrations of 500 ppm and 1000
ppm the percentage of food barriers increased by 26.5 %,
27.3 % and 29.6 %, while for concentrations of 1000 ppm
by 32 %, 45.2 % and 45.6 %. The higher the value of eating
barriers means a decrease in eating activity of Plutella
xylostella caterpillars on sawi plants. The average
percentage of food resistance (FeedingReduction, %) results
in the following diagram:

Fig.1: Diagram of the average decrease in feeding activity
(% Feeding Reduction) of Plutella xylostella caterpillars on
sawi plants.
Based on the test results of hutun seed ethanol extract
(Barringtonia asiatica L.Kurz)effect with three repetitions
provide resistance values ate different from each
concentration. The higher the concentration, the higher the
percentage of eating obstacles will be and this means a
decrease in eating activity. The highest value of eating
resistance is at a concentration of 500 ppm and 1000 ppm
by 27.8% and 40.93%. The results of this study were lower
than the antifeedant activity of tuba root extract at
concentrations of 500 ppm and 1000 ppm which were able
to inhibit feeding power by 30.16% and
44.00%.(Komansilan et al. 2019)
Normality test is a test used to determine the distribution of
data obtained is normal or not. The normality test is a
prerequisite for the one-way ANOVA test. If the number of
samples> 50 used is Kolmogorov-Smirnov, whereas if the
number of samples <50 then what is used is Shapiro-Wilk.
The results in table 2 are then tested for normality as
follows:

If in the Shapiro-Wilk column the Sig value> 0.05 then the
treatment data are normally distributed, whereas if the Sig
value <0.05 then the treatment data are not normally
distributed. The conclusion of the normality test on the
above eating activity data meets the normal requirements
because the Sig. > 0.05 for treatment.

Data for each treatment is said to be homogeneous if the Sig

homogeneous if the Sig value <0.05. Based on the
homogeneity test table above the activity data of each
treatment was declared homogeneous because the Sig
value> 0.05 so that the ANOVA test could be performed.
ANOVA test table can be seen in Table 4.
After ANOVA (variance) test was carried out at a 5%
confidence level, the results showed that the treatment had a
significant influence on the antifeedant of Plutella xylostella
caterpillar on sawi plants (Brasicca junceae L.). can be seen
in the Table below:

If the Sig. Value <0.05, the treatment was stated to have a
significant effect. Based on the ANOVA test table above
shows that there is a significant effect of ethanol extract of
hutun seeds (Barringtonia asiatica L. kurz ) on the eating
activity of Plutella xylostella caterpillar on sawi plants.
Based on the ANOVA test results above, the treatment data
can be further tested to find out more specific effects.
Further tests used were those with the smallest significant
difference (LSD) or LSD (Least Significant Different) to
show differences between each treatment individual.

Prijono (2008) explains how antifeedants work in insects
can work in two ways, namely 1) influencing the behavior
of insects such as: inhibiting feeding activity, interfering
with host discovery, inhibiting spawning activities, and 2)
influencing insect physiology, such as: influencing egg
development to failure become pre-adult insects (larvae or
nymphs and adults / imago), inhibit the formation of chitin,
interfere with reproduction. Judging from the entry of
secondary metabolites (antifeedant) into the body of an
insect, Rompas (2010) said that, the modus operandi of
these chemicals in the body and poisoning organisms, some
attack the brain (neurotoxicity), blood (hematoxicity), liver
(hepatoxicity), skin (dermatoxicity), eyes
(ophthalmotoxicity), kidney (nephrotoxicity) and lungs

(pneumotoxicity), with different ways of working
depending on the type of compound.
Mitcell and Sufcliff, (1984), explained that insects have
receptors including chemoreceptors on antennas, mouth
parts, tarsus, and palpuses that can distinguish various
chemical compounds from alkaloids, terpenoids which work
to inhibit the response of sugars to the galeal sensilla in
Coleoptera. According to Dadang (1999) R. communis
gives a high rejection effect of spawning and feeding
activities on beetles, especially Coleoptera: Bruchidae.
Furthermore, the workings of secondary metabolite
compounds (antifeedant) in the nervous system, according
to Prijono (2008) allegedly take place through the following
series: 1) the interaction of insecticides with certain
macromolecules in the nervous system, 2) causing
interference with the functioning of the nervous system, 3)
causing paralysis muscular system and behavioral
abnormalities, 4) there will be a failure in the respiratory
system (air exchange), 5) resulting in an imbalance in the
substance content in body fluids, 6) cell poisoning will
occur, and 6) finally the insect comes to death.

Based on the results of phytochemical tests, ethanol extracts
of hutun seeds (Barringtonia asiatica L. kurz) are included
in the saponin, stroid, phenol, and alkaloid classes.
Saponins are generally bitter and also toxic to some cold-
blooded animals such as fish and amphibians. The use of
saponins as an antidote to predator attacks, the media to
fight over the scope, and help the process of reproduction
(Liang & Guo, 2013). The bitter taste issued by saponins is
thought to inhibit the feeding activity of test larvae.
The content of triterpenoid compounds in ethanol extract
was characterized by the formation of reddish-brown
deposits in the extracts tested. The terpenoid compounds
contained in the tuba roots function as fish poisons to fight
predators that threaten their survival (Handayani et al.,
1997). Alkaloids can inhibit the response of cyanogenic
glycoside sugars, which are sugars formed from bonds
between sugar and toxic compounds stored in plants so that
the toxic compounds are lost in toxicity.
IV. CONCLUSIONS
Based on the results of BNT further tests at 5% significance
level showed significantly different from the administration
of ethanol extract of hutun seeds to the eating activity of
Plutella xylostella caterpillar on mustard plants. In

treatment P1 was significantly different from treatment P2,
and also significantly different from treatment P3 and P4. In
treatment P2 was not significantly different from P3 but
significantly different from P1 and P4. In treatment P3 was
not significantly different from P2, but significantly
different from P1 and P4. Whereas the treatment of P4 was
significantly different from P1 and P2 also significantly
different from P3. Giving ethanol extract from hutun seeds
to the eating activity of Plutella xylostella caterpillar on
mustard plants, the highest value of eating inhibition was at
concentrations of 500 ppm and 1000 ppm by 27.8% and
40.93%.
