Lantana camara, an introduced species by the British has turned itself in to a noxious weed, which has expanded itself in almost all the possible habitats of India. It is a major threat to the ecosystem, including plants and animals. Attempt to combat the further spread of this nuisance species has been of little help. Therefore, in the present discussion an attempt on its impact, toxicity, use...

The use of natural plants products that reduce mosquito population can provide many associated benefits that limit pesticides environmental impact due to shorter latency and may be useful in preventing development of resistance. The larval mortality was observed at 24hrs and 48hrs of time exposure. LC50 value was calculated. Microscopic slides were prepared from live larvae and microscopic phot...
