Mustard is a type of seasonal vegetable crop. Mustard has high nutritional value and is needed by various groups. In the cultivation of mustard plants there are always obstacles, the obstacle is the presence of pests in mustard plants. One of the pests in mustard plants is Plutella xylostella. Control measures to suppress the attack of P. xylostella pests can be done with technical culture controls, one of which is planting mustard in intercropping with basil plants. The aim of the study was to determine the B/C ratio of mustard from technical culture pest control by intercropping mustard + basil in farmers in Paal Merah District, Jambi City.
