Abstract

Replacement of synthetic pesticide with natural pesticide is highly demanding because it is more
environmentally friendly. Tobacco is majorly exploited for cigarettes production. Therefore, it needs to be developed for
other alternative products, one of which is insecticide due to nicotine content and other toxic compounds. This research
aimed to determine the effectiveness of tobacco as an insecticide for Galleria mellonella and Gryllus bimaculatus. The
raw material used in this study was the leaf extract of Nicotiana tabacum L., var. Virginia that was obtained by Ethanolic
Heat Reflux Extraction (EHRE) technique. After testing on the insects, LC50 values were 36.6 mg/ml for Galleria
mellonella and 38.5 mg/ml for Gryllus bimaculatus.
