The results obtained in observational research are insect pests, there are insect species L. migratoria manilensis Meyen, Pseudococcus viburni, Bothrogonia addita, Leptocorisa oratorius. And predatory insects are Dolichoderus thoracicus species. The conclusion that can be obtained is that behind cassava which is easy to plant and care for, there are several obstacles ranging from the number of pests that cause damage to cassava plants. The damage caused by insect pests will be very detrimental to farmers, especially in Indonesia.
