From: Impact of Cymbopogon flexuosus (Poaceae) essential oil and primary components on the eclosion and larval development of Aedes aegypti

Figure 4

The effect of different concentrations (3 and 6 mg L−1) of Cymbopogon flexuosus essential oil, diflubenzuron, and methoprene on the development of Aedes aegypti larvae. The average larval length (LL), cephalic diameter (CD), and siphon length (SL) are presented in millimetres. (*) Significant differences in CD between the concentrations of each treatment and the control group (Tukey’s test p ≤ 0.05). (**) Significant differences in LL between the concentrations of each treatment and the control group (Tukey’s test, p ≤ 0.05) by LL. (A) Cymbopogon flexuosus essential oil (analysis of variance [ANOVA]: F = 18.174, df = 2, p = 0.002928); (B) diflubenzuron (Kruskal–Wallis test: H (2, N = 9) = 6.937853, p = 0.003171); (C) methoprene (ANOVA: F = 7.03, df = 2, p = 0.002398).
