Abstract:
In the last decades considerable headway has been made in research and development
of phyto-chemical pesticides. The most notable recent success is the commercial
development of neem products for insect control. The present investigation on
Environmentally Compatible Phyto-Chemical Larvicides for Mosquito Control was
undertaken to identify plants of the locality with potential larvicidal activity on mosquito
larvae. This has been achieved by screening 17 plant species against four mosquito species.
The observation and data are compiled in six chapters .
