<table class="itemDisplayTable"><tbody><tr><td class="metadataFieldValue">Herbal products are cheaper and effective than chemical based mosquito repellent, therefore an attempt has been made to prepare a 100 % herbal product based on traditional practices and rural wisdom. Present study was conducted for effective utilization of Basak (<em>Adhatoda </em><em><span lang=""EN-GB"">zeylanica</span></em><span lang=""EN-GB""> Medik. syn. <em>A.</em> <em>vasica </em>Nees) as a mosquito repellent. Seven varieties of products were prepared from its<em> </em>leaves with different natural compositions. Study results revealed that maximum percentage of weight loss with V<sub>7</sub> variety followed by V<sub>1</sub> and lowest in variety V<sub>6</sub>. Almost all varieties of bio-cake burned within 35 – 45 minutes except variety V<sub>5</sub>, which took 60 minutes to complete burning. Variety V<sub>6</sub>showed highest ash content (7.70 g) and lowest ash was recorded for V<sub>5</sub> (1.67 g) after complete burning. The emission of CO<sub>2</sub>, CO and O<sub>3</sub>was recorded as V<sub>2</sub>>V<sub>4</sub>>V<sub>3</sub>>V<sub>5</sub> ≈ V<sub>7</sub>>V<sub>1</sub>>V<sub>6</sub>; V<sub>5</sub>>V<sub>6</sub>>V<sub>1</sub>>V<sub>7</sub>>V<sub>4</sub>>V<sub>2</sub>>V<sub>3</sub> and V<sub>5</sub>>V<sub>3</sub> ≈ V<sub>4</sub> ≈ V<sub>7</sub>>V<sub>2</sub>>V<sub>1</sub>>V<sub>6,</sub> respectively during burning of bio-cake. On the other hand knock down experiment demonstrated that almost all varieties of bio-cakes are effective as mosquito repellent. But only two varieties (V<sub>6</sub> and V<sub>7</sub>) caused more than 50 % knock down. Finally the emission of gaseous product was compared with a synthetic mosquito coil.</span></td></tr></tbody></table><p><br /><br /></p> |
