Summary: Abstract: The researchers tested the larvicidal ability of the extracted leaves of vitex negundo commonly known as 'Lagundi' on the dwellings of Dengue vector, Aedes aegypti larvae. This will help to eliminate the said specie that causes dengue fever, which is still a major health problem in the country. There are numerous brands of synthetic pesticides that can be found in the market but due to its misuse and insufficient concentration of larvicide, resistance of the larvae and mosquitoes to those products have increased resulting to a much stronger life expectancy of the said organism. In this experiment, the researchers used the method called maceration process that consists of maintaining contact between the plant and a solvent for a period of time. The standardization of extraction procedures contributes significantly to the final quality of the extract that will be needed in the said experiment. The products that will be obtained from plants are relatively semi-solids extract that are intended only for the said experiment. Several researchers that had been conducted show that flavonoid extracts and phytochemical properties found n the different plants could potentially kill the developing larvae of Aedes aegypti. The researches may be able to sepecify the lethal concentration level of the Lagundi leaves extract by adapting the WHO Larvicidal Bioassay and the data shal be estimated using Linear Regression Probit Analysis. After thorough experimentation and multiple replicates of the experiment, the researchers concluded that the Vitex negundo (Lagundi) leaves extract did have larvicidal activity to kill third (3rd) and early fourth (4th) instar larvae of Aedes aegypti.
