The larvicidal potential of Saussurea costus (Falc.) Lipsch. was studied against the early 4th instar larvae of Anopheles stephensi Liston., Aedes aegypti Linn.,and Culex quinquefasciatus Say. because of the emergence of mosquito resistance to conventional synthetic insecticides.
At concentrations of 12.5-200 ppm, larvicidal activities were studied under laboratory conditions.
After 24 h of exposure, the methanol extract of the roots recorded the highest larvicidal activity against An. stephensi, with LC50 and LC90values of 7.96 and 34.39 ppm, respectively.
We are developing potent larvicidal compound(s) from S. costus for controlling the mosquito larval population.
由于蚊子对传统合成杀虫剂产生了抗药性,因此研究了雪莲花(Falc.)Lipsch. 的杀幼虫潜力,以对抗按蚊斯蒂芬斯利斯顿的早期第 4 龄幼虫、埃及伊蚊林奈和库蚊五分法。
在 12.5-200 ppm 的浓度下,在实验室条件下研究了杀幼虫活性。
暴露 24 小时后,根的甲醇提取物对按蚊表现出最高的杀幼虫活性,LC50 和 LC90 值分别为 7.96 和 34.39 ppm。
我们正在从雪莲花中开发有效的杀幼虫化合物,以控制蚊虫幼虫种群。
