Plants can be a promising source of eco-friendly larvicides as they biosynthesize a diverse
array of biodegradable secondary metabolites with insecticidal activity. The efficacy of
phytochemicals against mosquito larvae can vary significantly depending on plant species, plant
parts used, solvent used, and vector species.(Shaalan et al., 2005) (M. F. Nethengwe, 2012).
