The purpose of this study is to determine the potential of breadfruit tree stamens extracts as larvicides against Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae and determine the optimum concentration of extract of stamens breadfruit tree which can be used effectively as Aedes aegypti mosquito larvicides. Determine larvicidal activity of stamens breadfruit tree (Artocarpus altilis) includes : sample preparation and phytochemical test , sextraction , larvicidal test , toxicity testing and data processing . Comparison test was done to compared the activity of the male flower extracts as larvicides with breadfruit tree abate powder against mosquito larvae , as well as the toxicity of the statistical test using the LC₅₀.Phytochemical test results positive breadfruit tree botanicals stamens contain tannins , saponins , and triterpenoids . Water content in the crude drug obtained 12.04 % . Breadfruit tree extract of stamens is not harmful to humans . This study getting the LC₅₀ of 0.25 % at phase n - butanol extract , and 1 % in the water phase extract.
