Abstract
Seeds of Ocimum Sanctum, popularly called Tulsi in India,
were found effective in the control of mosquito larvae. In water, the
seeds exude a mucilaginous substance to which larvae become
attached firmly, through the mouth parts, and die. One kilogram of
Tulsi seed has the capacity to bind 3-4 million 4th instar larvae of Culex
faligens. The method maybe effective for control in small tanks, ponds
and ditches.
