Sensible mosquito repellent in the form of spray, burn or liquid where chemical compounds are harmful to human health, namely propoxur, tranflutrin, bioaleterin, dikiorvos, dalletherine, octachiorophil ether. The purpose of this study was to see the bioactivity of plants in Serai Wangi (Cymbopogon nardus). The method used is a computational study using various bioinformatics applications. From the research it was found that the plants in Serai Wangi (Cymbopogon nardus) were very effective as mosquito repellents.
