ABSTRACT

While most of the people consider mosquitoes as an annoyance, these tiny assassins have the potential and lethal capacity more than any other group of arthropods. The increasing resistance of mosquitoes to current commercial insecticides has made the problem still worst. An alternative conventional method for this is the utilization of natural products from plants. In this regard shade dried leaf powder of Vinca rosea were used to assess the bioefficacy on Aedes aegypti. The different sized particle powder of 150m, 250m, 500m and 600m were tested for their bioefficacy. Emergence inhibition (EI 50 ) of 150m particle sized powder was found to be most effective with the (EI 50 ) of 24.81mg/100ml of water. Growth inhibitory effect was observed during the development.
