Abstract
In the modern culture the paddy fields are converted into rubber plantations and its plays a good breeding source for mosquitoes especially during rainy seasons. Our present investigation is to find out the phytochemical constituents present in Hevea brasiliensis dried leaves collected from the ovitrap as a preliminary study to find out the mosquito repellent activity. The obtained result suggests that the control showed the presence of terpenoid, phenol, alkaloid and tannin. Similarly methanol extract showed the presence of phenol, tannin and steroid; chloroform extract showed the presence of terpenoid, flavonoid, tannin and steroid; acetone extract showed the presence of alkaloid, tannin, steroid and aminoacid and aqueous extract showed the presence of steroid and aminoacid. Moreover, the results suggest that the dried leaf collected from the ovitrap contains various phytoconstituents which can be utilized for industrial use.
