Ethnobotany of Indonesian communities utilizes plants as botanical pesticides. Recently, there has been no comprehensive data and information related to the ethnobotany potential pesticides on a nationwide scale. This paper aimed depict an overview in Indonesia. The literature was collected from 29 published articles theses (doctoral, master's, bachelor's degrees) English Bahasa After validated, only 27 papers were study topic.

Furthermore, development also alternative reduce synthetic/chemical provide agriculture.
