The observation of the population of Spodoptera spp. based on the age of the plant turned out to be the highest found in the plant was 51 dap which reached 67,37 then aged 44 dap 51,15, age 37 dap 43,75 and age 30 dap 37,56. Observations percentage of attacks Spodoptera spp. turned out to be the highest in location the Mokobang vilage reaching 41,42%, Palelon Village 11,68 %, Makaaruyen village 11,37 % and Kakenturan village 2,74 %.]]>
