PAS_1 "Alkaloids isolated from Annonasquamosa have shown larvicidal growth-regulating and chemosterilant activities against Anopheles stephensi at concentrations of 50 to 200 ppm. Adults exposed as larvae to different treatments showed reduced fecundity and fertility in females." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8468579/#:~:text=Alkaloids%20isolated%20from%20Annona%20squamosa,fecundity%20and%20fertility%20in%20females
PAS_2 "All plant extracts showed moderate effects after 24 h of exposure; however, the highest toxic effect of bark methanol extract of A. squamosa, leaf ethyl acetate extract of C. indicum and leaf acetone extract of T. procumbens against the larvae of An. subpictus (LC50 = 93.80, 39.98 and 51.57 mg/l) and bark methanol extract of A. squamosa, leaf methanol extract of C. indicum and leaf ethyl acetate extract of T. procumbens against the larvae of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus (LC50 =104.94, 42.29 and 69.16 mg/l) respectively.

Other Community Practices "Application of neem oil 3%, neem oil 2% + garlic extract 2.5%, NSKE 5%, Fish oil rosin soap 40g/lit were found effective in reducing the mite damage. Significant reduction of mite population and damage was also obtained after spraying with commercial formulations of azadirachtin 1% @ 5ml/lit. of water. But repeated application at regular interval is needed to achieve maximum control." [Aratchige, N.. (2014).
