Aedes aegypti is the main vector of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF).

An alternative solution to control the vector which does not cause environmental
pollution is alternative insecticides. This study aims to determine the effect
chrysanthemum extract (Crysanthemum cinerariaefolium) to Aedes aegypti’s
fecundity and fertility.
This is a pure experimental research, using posttest only control group
design with 3 variations of concentration extract; 0,05%, 0,1%, 0,2% and control
(aquades) with six-time repetitions. The sample of this study was 780 adult Aedes
aegypti. The data analysis was conducted by employing Kruskal wallis test with p
<0,05 error level.
The result of Kruskal wallis fekundity and fertility test p = 0,001 showed
that there was difference between fecundity and fertility number of Aedes aegypti
after it was given with chrysanthemum extract. The 0.2% concentration was most
influential, with an average fecundity of 5.23 (5) grains / females and an average
fertility of 11.10%.
The conclusion of this research is that the giving of chrysanthemum
extract variations affect the number of Aedes aegypti’s fecundity and fertility.
Suggestion for people in general is to use plant-based chrysanthemum insecticide
as one of the ways to control DHF’s main vector.
