Termicidal Activity and Chemical Components of Wood Vinegar from Nipah Fruit against Coptotermes curvignathus

The termicidal activity and chemical components of wood vinegar from two sources biomass, nipah fruit shells (NFS) a mixture fiber (MSF), were evaluated against Coptotermes curvignathus. A no-choice test was carried out to evaluate their using filter paper samples treated with 2.5%, 5.0%, 7.5%, 10.0%, 12.5% NFS or MSF vinegar. Both vinegars exhibited antitermitic C. results show that increased concentrations significantly termite mortality. In particular, the caused complete mortality lowest mass losses at 2.18% when most abundant compounds cyclopropanecarbonyl chloride, 2,5-dichlorophenol, 2-propanone, acetic acid, propanoic benzenesulfonic 3,7-dimethyl-6-octenal, trans-geraniol. Meanwhile, main in 1,2-ethanediol, formic ethanoic 2-furancarboxaldehyde, phenol, 2-methoxy 4-methyl phenol.
