“…A. stephensi, is highly susceptible to potash alum under laboratory conditions and these LC values found in laboratory experiments are similar to those found in earlier studies (Batabyal et al 2007;Nathan et al 2008;Senthilkumar et al 2009). However, there are a number of studies reporting LC 50 values remarkably higher than our study (Sosan et al 2001;Dwivedi and Karwasara 2003). This larvicidal efficacy is comparable to fenthion, a commercially available organophosporus larvicide (Amalraj and Das 1996) and Malathion (Azmi et al 1998).…”

Mosquito larviciding may prove to be an effective tool for incorporating into integrated vector management strategies for reducing malaria transmission. Here, we report the potential of potash alum, a traditionally known salt in Indian Ayurveda and Chinese medicine system, in malaria vector control by evaluating its aqueous suspension as larvicide and growth disruptor of Anopheles stephensi, under laboratory conditions. Immature stages of the mosquito were tested using WHO guidelines. 50 and 90% lethal concentrations among various larvae ranged between 2.1 to 48.74 ppm and 15.78 to 93.11 ppm, respectively. The results indicated that larvicidal effects of potash alum were comparable to various biological and chemical insecticides.The study provides considerable scope in exploiting local indigenous resources for the control of nuisance mosquito vectors.

The efficacy of Ocimum gratissimum leaf powder and ethanol extract on adult Periplanata americana under laboratory condition was studied to control the nuisance of the pest. The mean mortality count of adult Periplanata americana was highest (84) in 50 g leaf powder and lowest (3) in the control. The highest mortality (125) was recorded in 96 hr exposure time while the lowest (17) was recorded in 24 h exposure time. There was significant difference (P-value = 0.05) in the mortality with increase in grams and exposure time of leaf powder and the control at 5% level of significance. The mean mortality count of adult P. americana was highest (104) in 50 ml ethanoic extract and lowest (1) in the control. The highest mortality (143) was recorded in 96 hr exposure time while the lowest (55) was recorded in 24 h exposure time. There is significant difference (P-value = 0.05) in the mortality with increase in grams and exposure time of leaf powder and the control at 5% level of significance. The efficacy of O. gratissimum Ethanol extract is more than the leaf powder. There was significant difference in mortality in both increase in concentration levels and exposure time at 5% level of significance in both leaf powder and ethanol extract.

“…For example, Sosan et al (2001) reported the larvicidal activities of essential oils of Ocimum gratissium, Cymbopogon citrus and Ageratum conyzoides against Aedes aegypti, achieving 100% mortality at concentrations of 120, 200 and 300 ppm, respectively. Das et al (2007) reported that the LC 90 values of methanol and ethanol extracts from Aristolochia saccata roots, Annona squamosa leaves and Gymnopetelu cochinchinensis fruits/pericarp against Aedes albopictus and Culex quinquefasciatus larvae ranged from 31.80-155 ppm.…”
