Abstract:
The present work discloses polymeric bead formulation and process for preparation the same. The polymeric bead formulation comprise fennel oil as a extended release  system for insecticidal activity against Aedes agypti, Anopheles stephensi, and wild mosquito larvae. This study was carried out by emulsifying fennel oil in an aqueous  sodium alginate solution blended with HPMC and the fabrication of beads was then followed by an ionotropic gelation method using CaCl2 as a cross-linker. The in- vivo larvicidal bioassay showed that the fennel oil-loaded polymeric beads resulted in 100% mortality of Aedes agypti, Anopheles stephensi, and wild mosquito larvae  within 24 hours. These results confirm that the fennel oil-loaded polymeric beads exhibited good entrapment efficiency, extended release property, and excellent  insecticidal activity.
