Does not cause immunity in pests INTRODUCTION WHO (World Health Organizatio. notes that every year there is synthetic pesticide poisoning between 44,000-2,000,000 people in developing countries around the world. The use of synthetic pesticides can leave chemical residues on agricultural products and in the soil even carried to water sources so that they can poison beneficial organisms and poison the surrounding environment. Therefore, an environmentally friendly alternative pesticide is needed. Because of the development of technology, an alternative pest exterminator from plants has been found, namely Biopesticides are relatively easy to make with simple technology. Natural raw decomposed . in nature so that they do not pollute the environment and are relatively safe for humans because the residues are easily lost and can replace the role of synthetic pesticides. Plants that can be used as biopesticides include papaya leaves and tembelekan. Both plants contain active compounds that have the potential as insecticides . est killer. The results of papaya leaf extract research with saponin content . 02%) and tannins . 05%) at a concentration of 85% papaya leaf extract can kill armyworms as many as 8 out of 10 heads for 14 days . This is due to the presence of active compounds in papaya leaves can inhibit the growth of armyworm pests. The leaves, stems and roots of the tembelekan plant contain chemical compounds including starch, phenols, alkaloids, steroids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, catachin and antraquinone . In phytochemical testing of the combination of papaya leaf extract and tembelekan leaves, it can increase pest motility by 96. 7% . Biopesticides are pesticides made from plants or plants that can control pests and contain toxins. In general, there are several advantages of biopesticides, including . Biodegradable in nature.

Then evaporated to separate the extract and solvent so that a concentrated extract is obtained. Evaporation is a solution concentration process consisting of volatile solvents and non-volatile solutes. Evaporation is the process of thickening a solution by evaporating a solvent based on boiling point. Mortality tests were carried out on armyworms (Spodoptera litura F), armyworms that had been placed on a plastic table and then sprayed on each treatment of 5 caterpillars with biopesticides until evenly distributed then observed the death of armyworms (Spodoptera litura F) for 2 hours. The research results can be seen in Table 1. Result of Mortality Test Figure 1 Mortality From the results of the mortality test in 1, it can be seen that each composition has a different influence on armyworm mortality and soaking time. The composition of P100:T0 can be at 1-3 days soaking time with 76% mortality power. P90:T10 at 1-4 soaking time with 100% mortality power, and P80:T20% at 1-2 days soaking time with 80% mortality power. This shows that the composition that meets the quality of biopesticides to control armyworm pests (Spodoptera litura F) is found at P100: T0. P90: T10, and P80: T20%, where the mortality power affects the length of immersion. This research is in accordance with previous research . P70:T30 and P0:T100 do not meet the quality of biopesticides, this shows that the lack of mortality of armyworm pests (Spodoptera litura F). The mortality of armyworms (Spodoptera litura F) against biopesticides is caused by spraying on caterpillars so that biopesticide liquid hits the dorsal surface of the armyworm's body. Some of the biopesticide liquid attached to the leaves will hit the surface of the armyworm's body ventral when the armyworm walks. Insecticides that enter through the surface of the body can pass through thin cuticles such as the nexus of body The mechanism of absorption of insecticides in addition to through the skin can also be through the digestive tract, biopesticides have a toxic effect on the stomach, which is the main organ in insect digestion because the digestive tract is an organ that absorbs nutrients and secretes TABEL 1 RESEARCH RESULTS The Soaking Mortality Tanin Flavonoid of raw material (%) P:T .

If the secretion of enzymes is disrupted, the armyworm digestion process will lack energy and over time will experience Active compounds contained in biopesticides accumulated in the armyworm's body will act as toxic because armyworms are cold-blooded. The toxic will be distributed to all body cells through the armyworm circulatory system. Result of Tanin Level Test The results of the analysis of tannin levels of each composition showed that P100:T0 with a soaking time of 1 day contained tannins of 0315%, soaking on 2 days contained tannins 0351%, soaking on 3 days contained tannins of 0. 0361%, and soaking on 4 days contained tannins of 0. At P90:T10 with a soaking time of 1 day contains a tannin content of 0. 0289%, soaking on 2 days contains a tannin content of 0322%, soaking on 3 days contains a tannin content of 0. 0351%, and soaking on 4 days contains a tannin content of 0. At P80:T10 with a soaking time of 1 day contains a tannin content of 0. 0243%, soaking on 2 days contains a tannin content of 0314%, soaking on 3 days contains a tannin content of 0. 0337%, and soaking on 4 days contains a tannin content of 0. At P70:T30 with a soaking time of 1 day contains a tannin content of 0. 0430%, soaking on 2 days contains a tannin content of 0374%, soaking on 3 days contains a tannin content of 0. 0405%, and soaking on 4 days contains a tannin content of 0. At P0:T100 with a soaking time of 1 day contains a tannin content of 0. 0383%, soaking on 2 days contains a tannin content of 0383%, soaking on 3 days contains a tannin content of 0. 0374%, and soaking on 4 days contains a tannin content of 0. This shows that the composition of biopesticides to control armyworm pests at P100: T0. P90: T10 and P80: T10 tannin levels affect the duration of soaking and mortality of This research is in accordance with previous research . Result of Flavonoid Test Determination of total flavonoid levels was carried out using quercetin standard solutions of 20 ppm, 30 ppm, 40 ppm, 50 ppm and 60 Absorbance measurements were performed using a UV-Vis Spectrophotometer with a wavelength of 430 nm. To calculate the total flavonoid content, first the sample absorbance results were entered into the linear line equation y = 0. 0675 with a correlation coefficient of 0. 986 so that the total content of biopesticide flavonoids was obtained in the composition of P100: T0 with the mortality power of 5 armyworms which 58%, at P90: T10 with the mortality power of 5 armyworms which was 1. at P80: T20 with mortality power of 5 armyworms is 1. 4552%, at P70: T30 with mortality power of 3 armyworms is 0. at P0: T100 with mortality power of 4 armyworms is 0. 5221% . This shows that flavonoid levels are related to armyworm mortality (Spodoptera litura F) because good flavonoids are P100: T0 = 1. 58% and P90: T10 = 1. 6394% with mortality of 5 armyworms, and P80: T20 = 4552% with mortality of 5 armyworms. CONCLUSION Based on the research conducted, it can be concluded that: The composition of biopesticide quality against the mortality power of armyworm (Spodoptera litura F) is P90:T10. Biopesticide soaking time for 1-3 days still meets the quality of biopesticides in terms of the average mortality power of 88. Biopesticide characteristics resulting from tannin levels and flavonoid levels have a positive correlative relationship with the (Spodoptera litura F).
