| Abstract | One of the major paddy pests is the invasive apple snail, Pomacea canaliculata. The common control method to reduce the invasion of apple snail is by using chemical pesticides. However, this chemical pesticide could cause detrimental effects on human health and the environment. Currently, botanical pesticide is another safer way of replacing chemical pesticides. In this study, Carica papaya and Peltophorum pterocarpum leaves were extracted and analysed for the phytochemical compound and tested for toxicity effects against the apple snail under field conditions. Results from the phytochemical screening test displayed high content of saponin and flavonoid in C. papaya and P. pterocarpum leaves. P. pterocarpum leaf extracts showed the highest percentage mortality of snails at 98.33% after 96 hours of treatment application. The pH water and water conductivity test also showed a positive relationship between plant extracts and water quality. Thus, P. pterocarpum extract has a high potency as an eco-friendly pesticide in controlling the invasive apple snails which can be used to replace chemical pesticides. |
