This capstone project aimed to investigate the efficacy of lemon extract as a natural
larvicide for controlling Aedes aegypti mosquito populations. The study determined the
optimal concentration of lemon extract for maximum larvicidal activity and assessed its
potential environmental impacts. The laboratory experiment involved exposing mosquito
larvae to different concentrations of lemon extract and monitoring their mortality rates.
The findings revealed that the highest concentration of lemon extract (30 ppm) resulted in
the highest mortality rate within the one-hour observation period. Cup number 2 with a
concentration of 20 ppm had half the mortality rate of cup number 3, while the control
group (cup number 1) had significantly lower mortality rates. This suggests a positive
correlation between lemon extract concentration and mosquito larvicidal activity.
Mosquitoes, especially the Aedes aegypti species, have been a major public health
concern for a long time due to their link with several deadly diseases. The Philippines,
being an archipelagic country in Southeast Asia, is also grappling with this issue.
However, there is a promising eco-friendly solution that could potentially help reduce the
properties, making them a possible tool in controlling the population of Aedes aegypti.
Recent studies have demonstrated that lemon or lemon extract has larvicidal properties
against Aedes aegypti. For instance, Barnard et al, (2018) discovered that lemon extract
was effective in killing and subjecting Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus to sublethal
effects.
Lira and colleagues conducted a study that found that lemon extract were
effective in killing Aedes aegypti larvae. However, Barros et al, (2018 ) reported that
lemon did not have any effects on Aedes aegypti. Due to the potential of natural products

Specifically, the aim is to determine the lethal concentration (LC50) and lethal time
(LT50) of lemon extract against Aedes aegypti larvae. Choochote et al, (2004) The crude
seed extract of celery had significant larvicidal activity against Aedes aegypti, with an
LC50 of 162.6 ppm after 24 hours of exposure. The researchers collected celery seeds,

Barnard et al, conducted a study in 2018 that looked into the impact of lemon
extract on Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. The results indicated that the essential oil
was highly toxic to both species, making it a viable alternative to synthetic insecticides.
In another study, Lira et al. tested the effectiveness of lemon grass and lemon extract as
larvicides against Aedes aegypti larvae. The results showed that both oils were effective
Barros et al, (2018) investigated the larvicidal activity of lemon extract against

conducted a study to identify the active compounds in lemon extract responsible for its
larvicidal activity against Aedes aegypti. The study found that citral was the most
abundant component of lemon extract and had high larvicidal activity against the
mosquito species. These findings suggest that lemon extract, particularly its citral
content, may have potential as a natural larvicide for mosquito control. Overall, these
studies suggest that lemon extract and its components may have promising larvicidal
activity against Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae, which could contribute to the
The study by Choochote et al, (2004) investigated the potential larvicidal activity
of crude seed extract of celery (Apium graveolens L.) against the mosquito Aedes
aegypti. The researchers found that the extract showed significant larvicidal activity
against Ae. aegypti larvae in a dose-dependent manner. The LC50 value of the extract
was found to be 300 ppm, indicating the effectiveness of the celery seed extract as a
natural insecticide. Furthermore, the study also examined the phytochemical constituents
of the celery seed extract using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The
results showed that the extract contained a variety of bioactive compounds such as beta-
selinene, alpha-pinene, gamma-terpinene, and limonene, which are known for their
insecticidal properties. These compounds may have contributed to the larvicidal activity
of the celery seed extract against Ae. aegypti larvae. Overall, the findings of this study
suggest that crude seed extract of celery has potential as a natural larvicide for the control
of Ae. aegypti mosquitoes. This could provide a safer and more environmentally friendly
alternative to synthetic chemical insecticides, which can have negative impacts on non-

activity of the essential oil of Cymbopogon citratus, also known as lemongrass, and its
constituents against the mosquito Aedes aegypti. The essential oil was extracted from the
showed that the essential oil of lemongrass exhibited potent larvicidal activity against
The major constituents of the essential oil were identified as citral (neral and
geranial), myrcene, and limonene. Citral was found to be the most active constituent,
with a LC50 value of 14.5 μg/mL. Myrcene and limonene also showed moderate
larvicidal activity, with LC50 values of 72.5 μg/mL and 74.5 μg/mL, respectively.
The study suggests that lemongrass essential oil and its major constituent citral
have the potential to be used as natural larvicides for the control of Aedes aegypti
mosquitoes. Moreover, the findings of the study add to the growing body of evidence on
the potential of essential oils from plants as a source of natural insecticides for the control
of mosquito-borne diseases.
The study by Barnard et al, (2018) investigated the lethal and sublethal effects of
a botanical extract, pyrethrum, on two mosquito species, Aedes aegypti and Aedes
larvae and observed their mortality rates, as well as their developmental time, growth,
and behavior. The results of the study showed that pyrethrum had a significant lethal
effect on both mosquito species, with higher concentrations leading to higher mortality
rates. In addition, the researchers found that pyrethrum had sublethal effects on the
mosquitoes, which included increased developmental time, reduced growth rates, and
altered behavior. These findings suggest that pyrethrum has potential as a larvicidal agent
against Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, but also highlight the importance of
considering sublethal effects when assessing the efficacy of larvicidal agents. Overall,
this study provides valuable information for the development of effective and safe
The study by Lira et al, (2018) aimed to evaluate the larvicidal activity of lemon
grass (Cymbopogon citratus) and lemon extract (Corymbia citriodora) essential oils
against the larvae of Aedes aegypti. The researchers conducted bioassays using varying
concentrations of the essential oils (ranging from 62.5 to 1000 μg/mL) to determine their
toxicity against the mosquito larvae. The results showed that both essential oils exhibited
significant larvicidal activity against Aedes aegypti, with lemon extract showing higher
toxicity than lemon grass oil. The LC50 values for lemon extract were 100.8 μg/mL and
121.9 μg/mL for 24-hour and 48-hour exposures, respectively, while the LC50 values for
lemon grass oil were 401.6 μg/mL and 255.6 μg/mL for 24-hour and 48-hour exposures,
respectively. The study highlights the potential of lemon grass and lemon extract as
natural larvicides against Aedes aegypti. These findings may have practical implications
particularly in areas where chemical insecticides are not readily available or pose a risk to
The study by Singh et al, (2018) aimed to evaluate the larvicidal activity of
essential oils against three mosquito species, namely Aedes aegypti, Anopheles stephensi,
and Culex quinquefasciatus. The essential oils used in the study were obtained from six
different plant species, namely Citronella grass (Cymbopogon nardus), Lemon grass
(Cymbopogon citratus), Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus), Peppermint (Mentha piperita),
Clove (Syzygium aromaticum), and Neem (Azadirachta indica). The results showed that
all the tested essential oils had varying levels of larvicidal activity against the three
mosquito species, with the most effective being Citronella grass and Lemon grass oils.
The Citronella grass oil showed the highest larvicidal activity against Aedes aegypti, with
quinquefasciatus. Similarly, Lemon grass oil showed the highest larvicidal activity
against Anopheles stephensi, with an LC50 value of 53.67 ppm, followed by Aedes
aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus. The study suggests that essential oils obtained from
Citronella grass and Lemon grass have potential for use as natural larvicides against
mosquito vectors. These natural larvicides could be used in combination with other
control measures to manage mosquito populations and reduce the incidence of mosquito-
borne diseases.
Barros et al, (2018) investigated the larvicidal activity of essential oil extracted
from Cymbopogon citratus (lemongrass) and its main constituents, citral and geraniol,
against Aedes aegypti larvae. The study found that lemongrass essential oil showed
strong larvicidal activity against the mosquito larvae, with an LC50 value of 34.1 ppm.
The two main constituents, citral and geraniol, also showed significant larvicidal activity,
with LC50 values of 26.9 and 42.7 ppm, respectively. The authors suggested that
