Abstract
In the present study, crude extract of Aloe vera have been screened for their larvicidal activity against Musca domestica. All the three instars larvae of housefly were treated with the different concentrations by dipping method for 24 and 48 hrs. The LC 50 values of Aloe vera extract were found to be 32.67, 36 and 38.67 ppm in 24 hrs; 24, 25.67 and 28.33 ppm in 48 hrs on 1 st , 2 nd and 3 rd instars respectively. The crude extract of Aloe vera was found to be more active in terms of larvicidal potential.
