Abstract
The study was conducted to assess the effect of fresh leaf extracts of twelve native medicinal plants against the late 3rd instar larvae of Culex quinquefasciatus Say (Diptera: Culicidae), under laboratory condition with five different concentrations (5%, 2.5%, 1.25%, 0.625% and 0.3125%). Observational periods were 0 hours to 72 hours. The test plants were Lawsonia inermis, Passiflora foetida, Stephania japonica, Solanum nigrum, Clerodendrum inerme, Clerodendrum viscosum, Datura metel, Ipomoea fistulosa, Momordica charantea, Saraca indica, Tragia involucrata, and Tinospora cordifolia. After 0-24 hours of exposure, it was observed that 5% concentrated fresh leaf extract of Lawsonia inermis and Stephania japonica was most toxic, both of them killed 100% larvae. Passiflora foetida and Solanum nigrum was also toxic killing 95% and 90% larvae respectively after 0-24 hours of exposure. Fresh leaf extracts of Ipomoea fistulosa, Clerodendrum inerme and Clerodendrum viscosum killed 70%, 50% and 45% larvae. The mortality data were subjected to log probit regression analysis to determine the lethal concentrations (LC50, LC90 andLC95). Among all the test plants minimum LC50 value was observed in Solanum nigrum (0.350) followed by Lawsonia inermis (1.403), Stephania japonica (1.406) and Passiflora foetida (1.587) after 0-24 hours of exposure. Lowest LC90 and LC95 values were shown in Lawsonia inermis (2.484) and (3.47). The present study demonstrates that, the leaf extracts of Solanum nigrum, Lawsonia inermis, Stephania japonica, and Passiflora foetida have the potential to be used as larvicide against the larvae of Culex quinquefasciatus, is an ideal eco-friendly approach.
