INTRODUCTION
Wood is a strong, renewable, and decorative material (Wang.
Toppinen & Justin, 2.
, however wood is susceptible to biodegradation that requires preservation.
The durability of wood is mainly influenced by the extractive contents (Rizanti et al.
, 2.
The availability of non-durable woods in the market was more than durable woods (Muslich & Rulliaty, 2.
The most wood degrading organisms found in buildings is termites (Hasman.
Muin & Taskirawati, 2.
, such as dry-wood termites and subterranean termites.
Coptotermes is a widespread termites, which is one of the most wood degrading organisms such as C.
curvignathus (Scheffrahn et al.
, 2.
In the tropical regions, the biodeterioration rate is higher than in temperate regions (Gonzalez.
Gould.
Hudak, & Hollingsworth.
Therefore, wood preservation and modification are important elements to increase the service life of buildings, furniture and other wood products.
Wood preservation generally uses chemicals that are toxic to degrading organisms, but wood preservatives must meet user-safe and environmentally friendly The use of natural preservatives whose main substances are derived from plants has been discussed by Gonzalez-Laredo Rosales-Castro.
Rocha-Guzman.
GallegosInfante.
Jimenez, and Karchesy .
, which are more environmentally friendly than synthetic preservatives.
Annonaceae generally contains acetogenins that has a broad range of insecticidal bioactivities (Isman & Seffrin, 2.
The seed extracts of A.
squamosa and A.
muricata have repellent effects on Coptotermes gestroi (Acda, 2.
glabra is from the family of Annonaceae, which produces several secondary metabolites that have antifungal (Rocha.
Matsumoto.
Lombardi, & Lima, 2.
, larvicidal and insecticidal activities (Mohankumar.
Shivanna, & Achuttan.
In general, the seed extracts contain more potent substances than the extracts from other plant parts (Saripalli & Dixit, 2.
The ISSN: 2355-7079/E-ISSN: 2406-8195 use of A.
glabra seed extracts for controlling wood destroying organisms has not been widely studied.
This preliminary study aimed to analyze the efficacy of A.
glabra seed extract on wood-destroying termites.

MATERIALS AND METHOD
Preparation of Seed Powder The seeds of pond apple (A.
glabra L.
were obtained from the Center for Plant Conservation-Bogor Botanical Gardens Indonesian Institute of Sciences.
The seeds were grounded into powder and screened to the size of 40Ae60 mesh.
The moisture content of seeds was measured based on TAPPI Standard T 12 0s-75.
The powder sample of seeds (A2 .
was weighed and oven-dried at 103 A 2AC to a constant weight.
The moisture content was calculated from the sample weight difference before and after drying that is expressed as the percentage from the dry weight of sample (Elinge et al.
, 2.
The moisture content was determined from three replication tests.
Extraction The extraction of A.
glabra seed powder was carried out using cold-soaking maceration method .

AC) for 24 hours and was stirred several This extraction was conducted three The solvent was evaporated using a rotary evaporator at 60AC and 400 mmHg for A 1 hour.
Furthermore, the extracted content was determined by taking 5 ml extract solution into a petri dish and weighed.
Some extract solution was dried in an oven at 103A2AC until constant weight.
The dry extract was cooled in a desiccator for 15 minutes, then weighed again to get the dry weight of the extract.
The extracted content was calculated based on Equation 1, while the extraction yield was calculated using Equation 2.

%).
This higher concentration of ethyl acetate extract had a darker color .
than that of n-hexane extract .
Bioactivity Test of A.
glabra Extract to Wood Degrading Termites The use of n-hexane and ethyl acetate extracts from A.
glabra seeds caused the mortality of up to 100% of C.
ry wood termite.
and C.
ubterranean termite.
, while the termite mortality in the control samples were 13% (C.
and 30% (C.

(Trisna Priadi et al.
contain toxic substance to these main wood degrading termites.
The mortality of dry wood termites (DT) reached 100% in the extract concentration of A.
glabra seeds in n-hexane and ethyl acetate at a minimum of 63% and 57% respectively.
Furthermore, the mortality of subterranean termite (ST) reached 100% when using a lower minimum concentration of n-hexane extract than the ethyl acetate extract, which were 15% and 19%, respectively.
The mortality of C.
curvignathus termite has reached 100% at a lower extract concentration than that of C.
cynocephalus termite.
This indicates the subterranean termites were more sensitive to the toxic substance of A.
seeds than the dry wood termites.
Although this research has not analyzed the main substances of A.
glabra seed, the previous findings showed possible toxic substances that could be cultivated from the seeds for further uses mainly in controlling termites attack.
The seed extract of glabra contained squamocin, asymycin, and acetogenin compounds, which were insecticidal and vermicidal.
These bioactive compounds can inhibit the growth, eating activities, or cause the death of insects (Gallardo Aragon.
Tormo.
Blazquez.
Zafra-Polo, & Cortes, 1.
The insecticidal effect of Annonaceae is mainly caused by the substance of acetogenins that act on mitochondria inhibiting the NADH -ubiquinone oxidoreductase, which cause the death of the insects (Krinski.
Massaroli, & Machado, 2.
Moreover.
Darmawan and Ismanto .
reported that the main active compounds of A.
glabra seed extract were 9-octadecenoic acid .
leic aci.
and 13-docosenoic acid or erucic acid.
This extract caused the mortality of Eurema sp.
The analysis of variance (ANOVA) resulted that the concentration of both extract solutions significantly affected the mortality of dry wood termites and subterranean termites at 95% confidence interval.
On the other hand the type of extract solution affected differently the mortality of dry wood termites.
Further Duncan test showed that the use of n-hexane extract and ethyl acetate extract at concentration of 15% and 19% respectively caused significantly higher mortality of dry wood termites and subterranean termites than that were in the Based on the mortality value in this test, the required concentration of n-hexane and ethyl acetate extracts of A.
glabra seed to control dry wood termite were 63% and 38%, respectively.
On the other hand, the concentration of n-hexane and ethyl acetate extracts to control subterranean termites were 15% and 19% In addition to mortality, the value of paper weight loss is an important indicator of termite reaction in the efficacy test of A.
glabra seed extracts.
The weight loss of the test paper treated with A.
glabra seed extracts was smaller than that without treatment .
This is evidence that A.
glabra seed extract can withstand the attack of dry wood termites and subterranean termites (Figure 3 and .
The analysis of variance showed that the concentration of both extract solutions significantly affected the weight loss of paper disc at 95% confidence interval.
The Duncan test revealed that the application of n-hexane extract solution and ethyl acetate extract solution from A.
glabra seeds at concentration of 15% and 19% resulted in significantly lower paper weight loss values AUAUthan that of the control due to dry wood termites (Figure .
The paper weight loss was lower as the concentration of the extract was higher in the solution.
The use of n-hexane extract and ethyl acetate extract at concentration of 31% and 38% can inhibit the attack of dry wood termites (C.
from being less than 2% of the paperweight The concentration of extract solutions from glabra seeds significantly affected the weight loss of test paper attacked by subterranean termites (C.
at 95% confidence interval, while the type of extracts solutions did not significantly affect the weight loss (Figure The treatments of n-hexane extract and ethyl acetate extract at concentrations of 15% and 19% respectively resulted in a significantly lower paper weight loss than that of the Indonesian Journal of Forestry Research Vol.

in the test of A.
glabra seed extract Based on the value of the paperweight, the n-hexane extract and ethyl acetate extract at concentrations of 31% and 19% respectively increased well the resistance from subterranean termites to be less than 1% of the paper weight Considering the results of termite mortality and paper weight loss analyses the concentrations of n-hexane and ethyl acetate extracts from A.
glabra seeds for controlling dry wood termites are 63% and 38%, respectively.
while for controlling subterranean termites are 31% and 19%, respectively.
The results of this research also showed that ethyl acetate extract from A.
glabra seeds had a better toxicity effect than the n-hexane extract in controlling dry wood termites and subterranean termites because the required concentration was lower than that of n-hexane extract.
This is consistent with the report of Elango et al.
that ethyl acetate extracts from some medicinal plants caused higher mortality of Coptotermes formosanus than the hexane extracts.
Ethyl acetate and n-hexane solvents have different polarity.
Ethyl acetate is semi polar solvent, while n-hexane is non-polar Different polarity solvents can affect the type and quantity of resulted substances (Rohmah et al.
Moreover, different Bioactivity Analysis of Annona glabra L.

IV.
CONCLUSION
The higher concentration of A.
glabra seed extract in n-hexane and ethyl acetate solutions resulted in higher termite mortality and lower paper loss values.
The n-hexane extract from A.
glabra seeds at concentration of 63% and 31% can control dry wood termites and subterranean termites respectively.
On the other hand, the ethyl acetate extract required 38% and 19% concentration respectively, to control dry wood termites and subterranean termites.
Therefore, glabra seed extract has the potential to be developed as an anti-termite substances.
