Garlic is a crop interrupted by farmers is one of the local commodities besides cabbage. Garlic (Allium sativum) which releases biopesticides can kill caterpillars on cabbage. This activity is to provide innovations about the appropriate technology of biopesticides from raw materials of garlic to eradicate caterpillars as pests of partner cabbage plant diseases. The activities that have been carried out are preparation of garlic as a raw material for biopestides, applying biopesticides to selected community cabbage land every day at 9 am for 30 days.
