Mosquito control at their egg, larval, pupal and adult stage are imminent To prevent proliferation of mosquito borne diseases and to improve quality of environment and public health.Though, there are number of synthetic commercial products are available. But this has not been very successful due to human, technical, operational, ecological and economic factors. This is an in-depth research intended to provide alternative approaches and transparent mosquito management strategies.
