Abstract
There has been an urgent requirement for
alternatives since the regular use of synthetic insecticides to control insect
pests destabilizes the environment and increases pest and insecticide
resistance. Furthermore, growing evidence of synthetic insecticides'
detrimental effects on the environment and human health, along with stricter
environmental regulations on pesticides, have sparked a renewed interest in the
creation and application of bio-insect management products to control pests and
mosquitoes. The larvicidal activity of Ruellia tuberosa methanol,
ethanol, hexane, chloroform, and aqueous whole plant extracts against Aedes aegypti,
Anopheles stephensi, and Culex quinquefasciayus is the main
emphasis of this work. It was discovered that Ruellia tuberosa worked
well against each of the three fourth-instar larvae that were tested. The
larvicidal effect of whole plant extracts of Ruellia tuberosa on
mosquitoes has never been documented before.
