Phytochemical screening and larvicidal activity of Murraya koenigii leaves extracts against mosquito larvae; [Saringan fitokimia dan aktiviti larvisid ekstrak daun Murraya koenigii terhadap larva nyamuk]
Exploring new use of aromatic leaves of Murraya koenigii lead us to test it as pesticide. Phytochemical screening of the extracts was conducted to determine the active compounds using hexane and methanol solvents. The LC50 and LT50 values for both extracts against mosquito larvae were determined. Th...

Exploring new use of aromatic leaves of Murraya koenigii lead us to test it as pesticide. Phytochemical screening of the extracts was conducted to determine the active compounds using hexane and methanol solvents.

This study was comprised of several methods namely collection of leaves of M. koenigii, extraction M. koenigii leaves with hexane and methanol sequentially, phytochemical screening and larvicidal bioassay on third instar larvae using three different concentrations (250, 500 and 750 ppm).
