message. Education games can be used as an effective, innovative and informative educational
medium. Biology has many concepts that can be used as a game application so that the process of

game application on the concept of integrated pest control by utilizing biological agents such as
pest predators and refugia plants, instead of using pesticides. The development research method
consisted of three stages, analysis of game needs, multimedia development, and making game
programs. The results of the development of this android-based game application were
successfully created and called “Pelindung Dele”, this game application can be played properly.
