Tagetes minuta L. is considered as an annual plant growing in the temperate zones
of South America. It has been used as carminative, anti-inflammatory, anti-abortion,
vermifuge, bronchodilator and hypotensive. In the current study the locally cultured
plant of Tagetes minuta L. was studied for phytochemical and larvicidal properties.
The phytochemical analysis of aerial parts of the plant exhibited the presence of
saponins, terpenoids, tannins, alkaloids and flavonoids. The efficacy of methanolic
extract of the plant was tested against malaria vector, Anopheles stephensi. The probit
analysis from the concentration and mortality exhibited the LC50 and LC90 values
of 2.5 mg/l and 11.0 mg/l, respectively. Also the efficacies of the ethyl acetate,
chloroform, methanolic and aqueous extracts of the plant were tested on Anopheles
stephensi with the LC50 concentration of the methanolic extract. The results showed
that the chloroform extract had the highest efficacy.
