This research aims to determine the effect of botanical Insecticide concentrations from paitan leaves to control Aphids (Aphis gossyphii) on potato plant (Solanum tuberosum L). This experiment was carried out in Sembalun Village, East Lombok Regency. The parameters observed were insect population, attack intensity, number of tubers and weight of tubers. The design used was a Randomized Completely Block Design (RCBD) with 6 treatments and 4 replications consisting of P0 (No Insecticide), P1 (Paitan Extract 20 ml/1 L of water), P2 (Extract 30 ml/1 L of water) , P3 (Paitan Extract 40 ml/1 L water), P4 (Paitan Extract 50 ml/1 L water), and P5 (Paitan Extract 60 ml/1 L water). The results of the research show that Paitan leaf extract has an effect in controlling aphids (Aphis gossyphii.) on Potato plants (Solanum tuberosum L.), and a concentration of 60 ml/L of water (P5) is the best concentration in reducing population and intensity of pest attacks of Aphids (Aphis gossyphii.) on potato plants (Solanum tuberosum L.). There is a tendency that the higher the concentration given, the more it is able to reduce the population and intensity of attacks of the Aphids (Aphis gossyphii.) and is able to increase the percentage of yield on potato plants (Solanum tuberosum L.).References
