- Abstract
The article discusses a research study on Aedes aegypti larvae from Lahore, Pakistan and the laboratory evaluation of insect growth regulators (IGRs) including Buprofezin and Diflubenzuron. Collected were fourth instar larvae of Ae. aegypti and reared in insectory under standardized conditions while urea emulsifiable concentration (EC) of Diflubenzuron and 25% wettable powder (WP) of Buprofezin were used for evaluating efficacy. Results showed high toxicity and excellent larvicidal effect against two chitin synthesis inhibitors at different concentrations on Ae. aegypti fourth instars larvae. Conclusions indicated that diflubenzuron can cause high larval motality during larval-pupal intermediate form.
