Pod Borer (Etiella zinckenella) is a major pest in soybean cultivation. The
chemical pesticides used in agriculture are causing various detrimental effects on
our health as well as on environment. Botanical pesticides such as betel nut
(Areca catechu L.) is an alternative pest control to reduce the use of synthetic

effective to control E. zinckenella in soybean crops. The experiment using a
completely randomized design with 6 treatments. Betel nut seed extract
concentration are 0 g.l-1 of water, 20 g.l-1 of water, 40 g.l-1 of water, 60 g.l-1 of
water, 80 g.l-1 of water and 100 g.l-1 of water and each treatment was repeated
four times. The result showed 40 g.l -1 of water of betel nut seed extract is
