Effect of Mengkudu's (Morinda citrifolia) distillation with differential fruit ripeness to control Argulus on Carassius auratus auratus.

One parasite known to infect is Argulus. Noni (Morinda citrifolia) is one of the traditional medicinal plants that can be used as an alternative to control parasitic infections. Noni fruit has four levels of ripeness; each of them contains a different antiparasitic. This research aims to determine whether the noni fruit ripeness level differences provide different effects on the control of Argulus on Carassius auratus auratus. This research is experimental, using Completely Randomized Design. The data obtained in this research were analyzed using statistical test ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) to determine whether there are differences among the treatments, and then followed by Duncan's Multiple Range Test. The result showed value F count < F Table 0,01 and 0,05 which means there is no significant difference in treatment of giving noni juice with different ripeness levels. While Duncan's multiple range test showed that there is a significant difference between P0 (control treatment) and P3 (treatment using noni fruit ripeness level C). This means that noni juice has an impact on the release of Argulus on Carassius auratus auratus and the most effective treatment is by giving noni juice in the ripeness level C.
