520 _aAbstract: Every dengue season more and more people especially children fall prey to a disease that has a widespread yet preventable vector in the tropical regions such as the Philippines. Mosquitoes that live in stagnant waterways can be a host of a variety of diseases and of the more popular ones is dengue fever. The research was aimed to determine if mimosa pudica (makahiya), specifically if its extract mimosine can produce a mosquitocidal effect on the adult Aedes aegypti mosquito and if it does exhibit the mosquitocidal activity, then at what concentration will it exhibit that effect therefore affirming its value as a bioinsecticide. In this study the plant was iyophilized then prepared as a stock solution with both ethanol and water. The data collection applied a primary type which was gathered through observation of different test to determine the mosquitocidal effect of mimosa pudica. The positive control used was the commercial insecticide Baygon which yielded a 100% mortality rate while the negative control used was dechlorinated water with 5% ethanol which in turn yielded no mortality. As all the data from all the replicates was pooled and analysed we had computed the effective dose level to knockdown 50% and 90% of the test mosquito population and was estimated via linear regression - probit analysis. With all the data checked, verified and studied, we have concluded that the extract of mimosa pudica, mimosine proved to be a mosquitocidal agent with its effectiveness increasing when the concentration of the mimosine extract also increases. Considering that pathogenic mosquitoes such as Aedes aegypti has been continuously increasing its population in the country for the past few years, the study revolved around reducing the number of mosquitoes, hence, determining the effectiveness of mimosine as a mosquitocidal agent.
