Grayak caterpillar is insect pests that become pests of various food crops. Grayak caterpillars cause a decrease in crop productivity and even crop failure if they are not controlled. Pest control using chemical pesticides has many adverse effects on the environment. To minimize the occurrence of environmental damage, then it is used pest control using vegetable insecticides. Bintaro Leaf (Cerbera odollam Gaertn.) is potential as a vegetable insecticide. The purpose of this study was to examine the toxicity of granule from Bintaro leaf extract (C. odollam Gaertn.) on armyworms (S. litura Fab.). This research was a laboratory experimental research using Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Serial concentrations used in this study were 0% (control), 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, and 2.5%. The results of this study showed that the granules of Bintaro leaf extract (C. odollam Gaertn.) were effective in causing mortality of armyworms (S. litura Fab.) at 1.5% concentration by 60% and included in toxic category. The value of LC50-48 hour granule from Bintaro leaf extract (C. odollam Gaertn) was 1.41%. Keywords: Spodoptera litura Fab. , Granula extract of Cerbera odollam Gaertn., Vegetable Insecticide.

<h1>Spodoptera litura F. is one of the important pests in Horticulture commodities which can cause damage 80% and up to 100%. Karamunting (Melastome malabathricum) is a wild plant that grows in Tarakan City. This plant is known to contain secondary metabolites which are thought to have the potential to control pests. This study aims to determine the potential of Karamunting extract as a botanical insecticide material to control armyworms. This study uses a completely randomized design (CRD) method with 1 treatment factor, namely the concentration of Karamunting leaf extract. Potential extracts as botanical insecticides were tested by dye method using 4 concentrations, namely 0 (control); 500; 1000; 2000; 4000; and 8000 ppm. The results showed that Karamunting leaf extract was able to control armyworm pests. Giving extracts of 8000 ppm (P5) in feed caused the highest decrease in eating activity up to 41,2%, larval mortality up to 85%, and the highest mortality rate after 7 days of observation. Decreased feeding activity and larval mortality were thought to be influenced by the presence of phenol compounds, fatty acids, terpenoids, sterols and alkaloids identified in the extract. Thus, Karamunting leaf extract has the potential to be developed as an active ingredient in botanical insecticides to control armyworm.<strong></strong></h1>

Armyworms (Spodoptera litura) become important pests in Indoensia that eat leaves compared to other pests because they are polyfag. S. litura can reduce productivity even crop failure. Therefore, it is necessary to do research on how to control S. litura effectively and environmentally friendly. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of brotowali extract (Tinospra crispa) as a botanical insecticide and obtain the right concentration of fruit extract, young leaves, and old Brotowali leaves to control the armyworm (litura Spodopter). This study used a Non Factorial Completely Randomized Design (RAL) with 6 treatments of various doses of brotowali extract mixed with cow urine and 4 replications. The results of the study showed that the administration of Brotowali + Urine Cattle extract with high doses (30 ml / jar) was able to increase the speed of death of the armyworm.

Golden snail (Pomacea canaliculata L.) is one of the main pests that attack young paddy plants. Golden snail pest attack on paddy plants has the potential to reduce yields and even crop failure. Kipahit plants (T. diversifolia) have the potential as bio molluscides because they contain toxic compounds against golden snails. The purpose of this research was to study the effect of bio molluscicide concentration of kipahit leaf extract (T.diversifolia) on mortality of golden snails at two phases of age and damage intensity of paddy  plants. The. The research was conducted in December 2017 until May 2018. The research was carried out in Lampeji Village, Mumbulsari District, Jember Regency. The researh used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 6 concentrations of kipahit leaf extract, tested on 2 different age phases of golden snail and 3 times repeated. The variables observed were golden snail mortality, crop damage intensity (DI), Lethal Concentration 50 (LC50) and Lethal Time 50 (LT50). The data obtained were then analyzed by probit analysis and Duncan test with a confidence level of 95%. The results showed that the concentration of 60 g/L was the most efficient and effective concentration in controlling golden snails at various age phases as well as suppressing the intensity of damage to paddy plants. Keywords: golden snail, kipahit leaves (T. diversifolia), molluscicide, mortality

Groundnut production has been reported to be threatened by storage insect pests which caused significant damage in storage. The repellent and efficacy activities of Citrus sinensis leaf extract were assessed on Trogoderma granarium in stored groundnut. The treatment was laid in a Completely Randomized Design with 3, 5, and 7% concentration level of methanolic and petroleum ether Extract for insecticidal activities. The results of C. sinensis leaf extract toxicity obtained was significant at 7% concentration at 24, 48 and 72 hours after treatment with 100% and 80% mortality in methanolic and Pet. ether extracts respectively in adults. Half disc experiment was carried out to determine the repellency activities with 1, 2, and 3% concentration of methanolic and pet. ether extract. It was observed that at 2HAT the insects moved towards the extract with the Index of Repellency of 1.13 at 3 % concentration for methanolic and pet ether extract, as the hours increase from 4 to 6HAT it was observed that the extract acted as repellant towards the insect with methanol and petroleum ether extract of 3 % concentration having the highest repellency index of 0.47. Petroleum ether at 1 % concentration with the value of 1.47, 1.40 and 1.20 repellency index across the 2, 4 and 6HAT showed that the extract remains an attractant towards T. granarium. The results obtained from this study is an indication of the potential of methanolic and petroleum ether crude extract of C. sinensis in groundnut storage

White Jabon  (Anthochepalus cadamba Miq).  is one of the tree species that has high prospects for industrial plantations and reforestation (greening) in Indonesia because it has very fast growth, very good adaptability. Disorders of plant disturbance organisms most commonly found in Jabon, Jabon caterpillar (Arthroschista hilaralis) become a major problem that can reduce the quality and quantity of wood. Pest control with chemicals does not provide maximum results so it is necessary to test with biopesticides. The study to examine the effect of gamal leaf extract as a natural insecticide was carried out using a completely randomized design with four treatments, namely the concentration of gamal leaf extract 0% (P0), 50% (P1), 75% (P2), 100% (P3). The results showed that gamal leaf extract as a vegetable insecticide had a positive effect on the mortality of A. hilaralis larvae in Jabon plants. The higher the concentration of gamal leaf extract, the higher the mortality rate in A. hilaralis larvae. This can be seen in the most effective concentration is the concentration of 100% with a mortality rate of 95%. The highest total mortality of A. hilaralis larvae occurred at a concentration of 100% ie 2.1 head / day. The higher the concentration of gamal leaf extract, the higher the speed of death of the larvae

Soil acidification is a serious challenge and a major cause of declining soil and crop productivity in the Eastern parts of South Africa (SA). An incubation experiment investigated effects of different maize residue biochar rates on selected soil properties and soil loss in acidic Hutton soils. Biochar amendment rates were 0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, and 10% (soil weight) laid as a completely randomized design. Soil sampling was done on a 20-day interval for 140 days to give a 5 × 7 factorial experiment. Rainfall simulation was conducted at 60, 100 and 140 days after incubation to quantify soil loss. Relative to the control biochar amendments significantly improved soil physicochemical properties. After 140 days, biochar increased soil pH by between 0.34 to 1.51 points, soil organic carbon (SOC) by 2.2% to 2.34%, and microbial activity (MBC) by 496 to 1615 mg kg−1 compared to control. Soil aggregation (MWD) changes varied from 0.58 mm to 0.70 mm for the duration of the trial. Soil loss significantly decreased by 27% to 70% under biochar amendment compared to control. This indicates that maize residue biochar application has the potential to improve the soil properties and reduce soil loss in the degraded acidic Hutton soil.
