Mosaic disease is one of the plant diseases that can be detrimental and cause crop failure, the disease is caused by Begomovirus. Begomovirus is spread by whitefly vectors.  The whitefly as a vector can infect healthy plants because once the whitefly is infected, the whitefly body will forever contain the disease. Therefore, we need a mathematical model to prevent the spread of mosaic disease on Jatropha plants and make a strategy to prevent mosaic disease with optimal control and other factors. In this study, mathematical modeling of the spread of jatropha mosaic disease will be discussed, with the addition of various compartments, parameters, and optimal control. Several strategies that can be used to prevent mosaic disease in Jatropha are adding effect awareness, delay, insecticides, interventions, natural predators, yellow stick, rouging, and a combination of all strategies.
