TL;DR: The results of the present study showed that the essential oil of P. amboinicus is one of the inexpensive and eco-friendly sources of natural mosquito larvicidal agent to control/reduce the population of malarial vector mosquito.
Abstract: Essential oil of Plectranthus amboinicus was studied for its chemical composition and larvicidal potential against the malarial vector mosquito Anopheles stephensi. Totally 26 compounds were identified by GC and GC-MS. The major chemical compounds were carvacrol (28.65%) followed by thymol (21.66%), α-humulene (9.67%), undecanal (8.29%), γ-terpinene (7.76%), ρ-cymene (6.46%), caryophyllene oxide (5.85%), α-terpineol (3.28%) and β-selinene (2.01%). The larvicidal assay was conducted to record the LC50 and LC90 values and the larval mortality was observed after 12 and 24 h of exposure period. The LC50 values of the oil were 33.54 (after 12 h) and 28.37 ppm (after 24 h). The LC90 values of the oil were 70.27 (after 12 h) and 59.38 ppm (after 24 h). The results of the present study showed that the essential oil of P. amboinicus is one of the inexpensive and eco-friendly sources of natural mosquito larvicidal agent to control/reduce the population of malarial vector mosquito.

TL;DR: In this paper, an approach to better estimate the groundwater recharge potential zones using geographical information system (GIS), influence factor and RS techniques has been applied in Ottapidaram taluk in Tuticorin district, where various thematic layers such as: lithology, slope, land use, lineament, drainage, soil, and rainfall were transformed into raster data using the feature to raster converter tool in ArcGIS 9.3 software.
Abstract: This study is an approach to better estimate the groundwater recharge potential zones using geographical information system (GIS), influence factor and RS techniques. This concept has been applied in Ottapidaram taluk in Tuticorin district to determine the overall groundwater recharge potentiality. Survey of India toposheets and Indian Remote Sensing-1C satellite imageries are used to prepare various thematic layers such as: lithology, slope, land use, lineament, drainage, soil, and rainfall. These layers were then transformed into raster data using the feature to raster converter tool in ArcGIS 9.3 software. Subjective weights are assigned to the respective thematic layers and overlaid in GIS platform for the identification of potential groundwater zones within the study area. These potential zones were categorized as ‘high’, ‘moderate’, and ‘low’ zones with respect to the assigned weightage of different thematic layers. The results reveal that the areas of good groundwater potential are estimated to cover 260.25 km2 (35 % of the study area), moderate potential 297.43 km2 (40 %), and low potential 185 km2 (25 %). Moreover, only 34 % of the total average annual precipitated water (680 mm) percolates into subsurface and ultimately contributes to recharge the groundwater. These results suggest that the high potential zones will have a key role in future expansion of drinking water and irrigation development in the study area.
