Annona squamosa, Natural larvicides, Ethanol extract, subpictusAbstract
The botanical insecticides are harmless to the environment and living organisms. Anopheles subpictus considers crucial research as it searches for innovative solutions to control the disease-carrying vector. Experiments were done in the laboratory to evaluate the larvicidal efficience of ethanolic leaf extract of Annona squamosa. The primary metric used to assess the extract's effectiveness was the documented mortality rate of the treated larvae. The median lethal doses (LC50) were (139.117and 113.162) ppm at 24, and 48 hours respectively. These outcomes conclude the effectiveness of A. subpictus ethanolic extract as bioinsecticides. Hence, should be incorporated into the integrated pest management strategies as an ecofriendly botanical extract.
