The larvae of M. domestica (20 in each set) were treated with different concentrations of ethanol extract of C. procera seed for 24 and 48 h as shown in Materials and Methods. The control and check represent larval treatment with water and ethanol, respectively. The experiments were conducted in triplicate.
