ABSTRACT: In the
search for alternative method beside the use of dangerous insecticides for
health and the environment, the vegetable kingdom offers many possibilities.
Work is carried out in this direction and showed an effectiveness of the
extracts of plants. Our results indicate that the chloroformic contents present
a better larvicidal activity than the other extracts. In addition, the analysis
by Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) of the three extracts of stems showed their
wealth of flavonic compounds before compounds, alkaloids and tannins thus suggesting a
correlation between the larvicidal activity and the contents in secondary metabolites
of stems.
