Abstract
Larvicidal and pupicidal activities of Kedrostis
foetidissima plant leaf and stem extract against Culex quinquefasciatus
mosquito vectors. Kedrostis foetidissima was tested against the fourth
instar larvae and pupae of C. quinquefasciatus and the data pertaining
to the experiments are shown in the perusal of the data clearly indicated that
maximum larval mortality recorded in C. quinquefasciatus mosquito at 24
hrs. larvicidal and pupicidal activities of different concentrations of 500ppm,
250ppm, 125ppm, and 62.5ppm. The maximum values of the percentage of larval
mortality of the leaf extract in 500ppm the values of larval mortality
petroleum ether extract in 93.66±7.08 at 24 hrs. the percentage of larval
mortality of the stem extract in 500ppm the values of larval mortality
chloroform extract in 70.16±7.36 at 24 hrs. the percentage of pupal mortality
of the leaf extract in 500ppm the values of larval mortality petroleum ether in
78.88±8.82 at 24 hrs. the percentage of pupal mortality of the stem extract in 500ppm
the values of larval mortality chloroform in 88.16±9.16 at 24 hrs respectively.
