Larvicidal potential of Trigonella foenum-graecum and Vitis vinifera seed oil nanoemulsions against Culex pipiens (Diptera: Culicidae)

Report on developing nanoemulsions of two plant seed oils and testing their enhanced larvicidal activity against Culex pipiens larvae.

Key Takeaways
  • Although plant-derived oils are selected due to their high content of bioactive compounds
  • This study was established to develop nanoemulsions of Trigonella foenum-graecum (fenugreek seed oil)
  • GC-MS analysis identified 14 and 34 compounds in fenugreek and grape seed oils
