Abstract: JOSE, NAOMI RUTH A., PERLADO, NINA PEARLETTE P. AND SINGSON, GRACE PAULINE O. Evaluation of Antitermitic Effects of Air-dried Big Sage (Lantana camara L). Research Study (General Science curriculum). Science High School, College of Education, Cavite State University, Indang Cavite. April 2016. The study entitled “Evaluation of Antitermitic Effects of Air-Dried Biz Save (Lantana camara L)” was conducted to determine the antitermitic effects of air-dried Big Sage. Specifically, it aimed to: (1) determine the antitermitic effects of air-dried Lantana leaf extract using different concentrations and solvents in terms of termite mortality rate: and (2) determine the most effective concentration and solvent of Lantana camara extract against termite. The experiment was conducted at the Crop Protection laboratory, College of Agriculture, Food, Environment and Natural Resources, Cavite State University from December 2015 to February 2016, using randomized complete block design with four treatments replicated three times. Results revealed both hexane and dichloromethane performed comparably in terms of termite mortality. At 75% and 50% concentration, both gave a mortality rate of 100% and 97.78% respectively which are statistically comparable. There was an increasing mortality at increasing concentration of hexane and dichloromethane leaf extract and time exposure. Moreover, at 24 hours after treatment (HAT), the performanceof 75% concentration of methanol leaf extract was Statistically significant. It gave a mortality of more than 50%. In addition, at 48 HAT , all concentrations of methanol leaf extract and Fipronil gave 100% mortality. Among the solvents evaluated, methanol is the most effective. It showed the highest mortality rate at all concentrations at 24 HAT and 48 HAT. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that using all those solvents. the higher concentrations of L. camara leaf extract, the higher the mortality. Moreover, Methanol is the best extract and 75% is the best concentration that totally exterminates termites. It is suggested that Lantana camara leaf extract be utilized as a botanical termiticide. Lantana toxicity is a good substitute of the non-environment friendly, chemical pesticide.
