Abstract
The present study was done to assess the larvicidal activity of the Java indigo plant against the larvae of
culex mosquito. The plant leaves were extracted using methanol and water (9:1). After extraction a bioassay was
conducted to test its activity in the larva of culex mosquito. The mortality data was subjected to probit analysis to
determine the lethal concentration. The Java indigo leaf extract can be used as a natural insecticide control against
the Culex mosquito larvae.
