Larvicidal activity of fatty acid methyl esters of Vitex species against Culex quinquefasciatus.
TLDR
The larvicidal activity of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) extracts of Vitex altissima,Vitex negundo and ViteX trifolia was studied against early fourth-instar larvae of Culex quinquefasciatus.Abstract:
The larvicidal activity of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) extracts of Vitex altissima, Vitex negundo and Vitex trifolia was studied against early fourth-instar larvae of Culex quinquefasciatus. The fatty composition was analysed by gas chromatography. The highest percentage of lauric acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid and linolenic acid were recorded in V. negundo. The highest percentage of linolenic acid was recorded in V. trifolia. The FAME extract of V. trifolia showed the highest larvicidal activity with an LC50 value of 9.25 ppm followed by V. altissima (14.82 ppm) and V. negundo (18.64 ppm).read more

Essential oil composition and larvicidal activity of six Mediterranean aromatic plants against the mosquito Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae)
TL;DR: Results from applications showed that all tested oils had insecticidal activity, with differences in mortality rates as a function of both oil and dosage, and EOs had higher content of monoterpenoids than sesquiterpenes, and they can be categorized into three groups on the basis of their composition.
