dc.description.abstractLaboratory studies were conducted to assess the toxicity and growth-inhibitory activity against Aedes aegypti larvae, of the crude acetone extracts of Polygonum senegalense (Meissn.) leaves, its flavonoid component 2',6'-dihydroxy-4'-methoxydihydrochalcone and the internal tissue flavanol quercetin. The first two showed significantly high insecticidal and growth-inhibitory activity even at low concentrations, whereas quercetin was toxic only at concentrations above 7μg/ml.en_US
