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 Keywords: Arthroschista hilaralis, Gamal Leaf Extract, biopesticide , white Jabon AUTHORS INFO ARTICLE INFO Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License
