Abstract

In this study, a qualitative and quantitative estimation of the most important active constituents of ficus carica L. leaves was made, and the results showed that they contained good amounts of them. Terpenes were extracted from the leaves and their potential impact on the life performance of Culex pipienes mosquitoes, the percentage of cumulative and non-cumulative deaths in immature roles, growth period, and female productivity were selected as criteria for live performance, where concentrations (2.5, 5, 7.5, 10) mg/ml were used for Evaluation of its effect on the life of mosquitoes. The results showed that the leaves of the plant had a significant effect On some aspects of the biological performance of Culex mosquitoes. The mortality of the larval stages of the insect was significantly increased compared to the control group, and its adult productivity was significantly reduced, and The results of the statistical analysis indicated that there were statistically significant differences concerning the concentrations and number of eggs.
