Popis:	One of the plants that has the potential as a vegetable insecticide is yam. Yam seed can be used as a vegetable insecticide because they contain rotenone compounds that can kill insect pests. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of yam seed extract on the abundance of B. tabaci and A. gossypii on eggplant plants. The treatment is applied by using active yam seed extract with various concentrations. The test was conducted in the experimental garden with 6 treatments, using concentrations of 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10% with 6 replications. The results showed that the higher the concentration given, the lower the abundance of B. tabaci and A. gossypii found in eggplant plants. Furthermore, the results showed that the use of yam seed extract effectively reduced the number of B. tabaci and A. gossypii pests on eggplant plants. The results of this study can be used as a reference for the development of plant-based insecticides with active ingredients yam seed extract.
