Botanical insecticide nanoemulsion is an insecticide with a transparent emulsion system, and it is an oil and water dispersion stabilized by a surfactant molecule, which has a size ranging from 50 to 500 nm. The experiment was conducted in Biota Sumatera Laboratory Faculty of Pharmacy and Insect Bioecology Laboratory Faculty of Agriculture Andalas University Padang on from July to August year 2018. The purpose of this research was to obtain the nanoemulsion of Piper aduncum fruit as a botanical insecticide capable of controlling the pest of cabbage larvae Crocidolomia pavonana . The experimental design used Completely Randomized Design (CRD) that consists of control treatment and nanoemulsion treatment of P. aduncum . Observations were used PSA with Zetasizer Nano ZS Malvern tools. Insecticidal activity of nanoemulsion was tested against C. pavonana . As the study found, the nanoemulsion has the following characteristics; its size ranges from 18.56 to 216.7 nm, its polydispersity index ranges from 0,202 to 0,371, its zeta potential ranges from -0,410 to -28,7 mV, and its distribution width range from 8,11 to 5570 nm. It has insecticidal activity against C. pavonana.
