    Author: Prabakar K, Jebanesan A.
    Journal: Bioresour Technol; 2004 Oct; 95(1):113-4. PubMed ID: 15207304.
    Abstract:
    Larvicidal efficacies of extracts of five species of Cucurbitacious plants, Momordica charantia, Trichosanthes anguina, Luffa acutangula, Benincasa cerifera and Citrullus vulgaris were tested against the late third larval age group of Culex quinquefasciatus. The larval mortality was observed after 24 h exposure. The LC50 values of M. charantia, T. anguina, L. acutangula, B. cerifera and C. vulgaris were 465.85, 567.81, 839.81, 1189.30 and 1636.04 ppm respectively.
