The testing phase for pests by preparing 5 concentrations of the extract 0 ppm, 125 ppm, 250 ppm, 500 ppm, and 1,000 ppm. Based on the observations, it was obtained that data at a concentration of 0 ppm did not affect mortality, at a concentration of 125 ppm it had an effect of 47%, at a concentration of 250 ppm it had an effect of 67%, at a concentration of 500 ppm it had an effect of 93%, and at a concentration of 1,000 ppm it had an effect of 100%. Thus, 1,000 ppm is the concentration that has the most influence on the mortality of A. gossypii.
