The potential use of *Azolla pinnata* as an alternative bio-insecticide

R. Ravi, D. Rajendran, et al.

This research explored the effectiveness of *Azolla pinnata* extracts as a bio-insecticide against *Aedes aegypti* and *Aedes albopictus*. The study revealed remarkable results, with 100% mortality in ovicidal tests and strong repellency observed in oviposition deterrence tests. Notably, three bioactive compounds linked to insecticidal properties were identified. This study, conducted by Rajiv Ravi, Dinesh Rajendran, Wen-Da Oh, Mohd Sukhairi Mat Rasat, Zulhazman Hamzah, Intan H. Ishak, and Mohamad Faiz Mohd Amin, highlights the promise of *A. pinnata* extracts as a natural solution for dengue vector control.... show more
