Eucalyptus Extract's Effect on Mosquitoes

This document is a research proposal that examines the larvaecidal properties of Eucalyptus globulus (blue gum tree) leaf extract on Culex mosquito larvae. The researchers will collect Eucalyptus leaves and Culex larvae to perform mortality tests with different concentrations of leaf extract solutions. They will observe and record larval mortality at various time intervals over three trials. If effective, the leaf extract could serve as a natural larvicide to help control mosquito populations.
