摘要:Application synthetic insecticide with high frequency and continuously can give to negative impact. Alternative control which secures is botanical insecticide. This research aimed to effectiveness tests of P. methysticum plant against C. pavonana larvae using root and leaves this plant. The tested insecticide activity including mortality and feeding inhibition tests. The extract was tested at five concentration levels and repeated five times. The results showed that P. methysticum root extract was able to cause C. pavonana larvae mortality of 94% with a concentration of 419.7 gram/100 ml in water meanwhile, the testing using leaves extract causes mortality 98% from concentration 342 gr/100 ml in water. The feeding inhibition test showed the P. methysticum roots extract give effect with very weak criteria at some concentrations used a no choice method while Leaves extract P. methysticum does not show feeding inhibition.
