Abstract
Mosquitoes are responsible for the transmission of various diseases
like Malaria, Dengue, Chikungunya, Elephantiasis (Lymphatic Filariasis), Zika
virus etc. To find an alternative to chemical larvicides has developed
resistance in mosquitoes, plant based extract as Bio-insecticide was tried
here. Methanolic extracts of bark of Dalbergia sp. were tested against 4th
instar mosquito larvae of Culex sp. It was found that the methanolic
extracts of bark of Dalbergia sp. were effective on mosquito larvae with
a mortality of 88%. It can be concluded that plant based insecticides can be a
great alternative for the mosquito control in near future.
