A true experimental design with control groups was employed, including negative control (distilled water), positive control (Abate 1%), and treatment groups exposed to extract concentrations of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%, each replicated six times. Larval mortality was recorded at 3, 6, and 12 hours
