Resulted damage can be up to 58-100% if control is not immediately done, especially in the dry season. The objective of this research was to obtain a effective concentration of great morinda extracts for controlling P. xylostella on mustard green.

The results showed that application of great morinda was effective to control P. xylostella. Mortality of 100% larva was recorded at 3 days after application of great morinda extract in the concentration of 150ml L-1 solution and this was equivalent to 1 ml L-1 of methrin delta solution, and that the percentage of pupa and imago was 0%. The intensity of damage to plant leaf of mustard greens was only 15.47% in the application of 150 ml L-1 of great morinda.
