Abstract
An experiment was conducted to know the larvicidal activities of dry seed extract of some important forest tree species against the larvae of dengue vector Aedes aegypti (L.) under laboratory condition for round the year. On this purpose late 3rd instar larvae of Aedes aegypti (L.) were exposed to different concentrations (5%, 4%, 3%, 2% and 1%) of dry seed extract of three forest plant species for 0 to 72 hours. The test plants were, Swietenia mahagoni, Anacardium occidentale and Terminalia catappa. After 24 hours of exposure maximum mortality was observed in dry seed extract of Anacardium occidentale (85%), followed by Terminalia catappa (70%) and Swietenia mahagoni (35%). Among the dry seed extracts minimum LC50 value after 24 hours exposure was observed in dry seed extract of Anacardium occidentale (2.384), followed by Terminalia catappa (3.020) and Swietenia mahagoni (6.78). The minimum LC90 values after 24 hours of exposure was observed in dry seed extract of Anacardium occidentale (5.80), followed by Terminalia catappa (13) and dry seed extract of Swietenia mahagoni (16.75). Lowest LC95 values was also recoded in dry seed extract of Anacardium occidentale (7.46), then in Terminalia catappa (21.428) and in Swietenia mahagoni (21.706) after 24 hours of contract of the larvae. From the above information, it is clear that dry seed extract of some forest plants might contain certain phytochemicals that can be used as larvicide that is an environmentally friendly approach.
Key Words: Aedes aegypti, dengue, dry seed extract, larvicide and mosquito
