Abstract
Research has been carried out on the use of natural ingredients of papaya leaf extract and pandan
leaf extract as a source of vegetable pesticides. Papaya leaf is one of the plant species that has a great
opportunity as a source of vegetable pesticides. In addition to papaya leaves, natural ingredients that
have proven benefits as natural insecticides are pandan leaves with a very distinctive aroma. However,
this needs to be supported by scientific information regarding the two natural ingredients as sources of
environmentally friendly (Biodegradable) vegetable pesticides in killing plant pest organisms (OPT), so
research needs to be carried out with the aim of proving the potential possessed by papaya leaves and
pandan leaves. as a source of vegetable pesticides on the mortality of Spodoptera litura larvae using the
caterpillar dipping method in a test tube (vial). This research is an experimental study using 250
experimental organisms Larvae Spodoptera litura which is divided into 5 groups. Each group consisted of
10 Spodoptera litura larvae. Each group was replicated 5 times. As the test material, papaya leaf extract
and pandan leaf were added to the media solution containing the test organism. The concentration of each
extract was different for each treatment in each vial, for P1 (Papaya Leaf) which was 150 ml, P2 (Pandan
Leaf) was 150 ml, and P3 300 ml (Mixed Papaya Leaves and Pandan Leaves), and Control was 0 ml. The
data was obtained from counting the number of larvae that died on the first day after the application.
Based on the data, the percentage value of larval mortality was calculated using the Percentage formula,
while the percentage value of larval mortality in the control treatment was calculated using the Abbott
formula, the average value of the mortality of each replication was calculated using the Datum formula.
Based on the testing of botanical pesticides from papaya leaf extract and pandan leaf extract, the
characteristics of vegetable pesticide products from papaya leaf extract and pandan leaf extract were
produced, with the highest mortality percentage obtained in the P3 treatment (a mixture of papaya leaf
extract and pandan leaves) which was 88%, while the percentage of mortality in treatment P1 (pawpaw
leaves) was 70%, and the percentage value of mortality in treatment P2 (pandan leaves) was 38%. from
these results that papaya leaves and pandan leaves are effectively used as sources of environmentally
friendly vegetable pesticides in killing plant pests of Spodoptera litura larvae.
