The dilution 0.125% seloi, Cimbopogon Peper aduncum presented best results by not causing any phytotoxicity damage leaves. other dilutions significantly different from pattern water. As result, species caused 100.0% mortality it did cause phytotocixity Therefore, these suggest that presents a high potential be future commercially friendly product against
