Objective:To investigate the larvicidal activities of crude and chlor of orm:methanol(1:1 v/ v) extracts of some common spices(Cuminum cyminum,Allium sativum,Zingiber offinale, Curcuma longa) and vegetable waste(Solanum tuberosum germinated tuber) against Anopheles stephensi and Culex quinquefasciatus mosquito larvae.Methods:Larval mortality of above mosquito species were observed after 24,48 and 72 h of exposure to five concentrations of aqueous extract(0.1%,0.2%,0.3%,0.4%and 0.5%) and four concentrations(25,50,75 ppm) of chlor of orm:methanol(1:1 v/v) extract.The lethal concentration of individual spices or vegetable waste was determined by log-probit analysis(at 95%confidence level) and effect of crude and chlor of orm:methanol(1:1 v/v) extracts were recorded on non target organisms.Results: Relative mortality rate of both larval mosquito species were recorded in the following sequences: Cuminum cyminum> Allium sativum>Zingiber offinale,Curcuma longa > Solanum tuberosum germinated tuber for crude extract,and efficacy of chlor of orm:methanol(1:1 v/v) extract were as follows:Curcuma longa > Zingiber offinale > Solanum tuberosum germinated tuber > Cuminum cyminum> Allium sativum.Conclusions:Crude and chlor of orm:methanol(1:1 v/v) extract of Cuminum cyminum,Allium sativum,Zingiber offinale,Curcuma longa and Solanum tuberosum germinated tuber can be recommended effectively in mosquito control programmes at very low concentrations.No mortality and other abnormalities were noticed on non target organisms and further studies are needed to investigate the chemical structure of active principal which are responsible for larvicidal activity. Objective: To investigate the larvicidal activities of crude and chlor of orm: methanol (1: 1 v / v) extracts of some common spices (Cuminum cyminum, Allium sativum, Zingiber offinale, Curcuma longa) and vegetable waste (Solanum tuberosum germinated tuber) against Anopheles stephensi and Culex quinquefasciatus mosquito larvae. Methods: Larval mortality of above mosquito species were observed after 24, 48 and 72 h of exposure to five concentrations of aqueous extract (0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4% and 0.5%) (25,50,75 ppm) of chloroform: methanol (1: 1 v / v) extract. lethal concentration of individual spices or vegetable was determined by log-probit analysis (at 95% confidence level) Results and relative mortality rate of both larval mosquito species were recorded in the following sequences: Cuminum cyminum> Allium sativum> Zingiber offinale, Curcuma longa> Solanum tuberosum germinated t uber for crude extract, and efficacy of chlorinated orm: methanol (1: 1 v / v) extract were as follows: Curcuma longa> Zingiber offinale> Solanum tuberosum germinated tuber> Cuminum cyminum> Allium sativum. Conclusions: Crude and chlor of orm : methanol (1: 1 v / v) extract of Cuminum cyminum, Allium sativum, Zingiber offinale, Curcuma longa and Solanum tuberosum germinated tuber can be treated effectively in mosquito control programs at very low concentrations. No mortality and other abnormalities were noticed on non target organisms and further studies are needed to investigate the chemical structure of active principal which are responsible for larvicidal activity.
