Today’s research mainly focused on medicinal plants because of the presence of bioactive compounds and their medicinal properties. These Phytochemicals has great antibacterial activity leading to the larvicidal activities. The study focuses on larvicidal activity of plant extract against Culex sps. The plant extract used in this experiment is Ficus elastica, Roxb.; The phytochemical screening of methanol leaf extract is analysed by standard methods and shown various phytochemical constituents such as saponins, phenols, alkaloids, protein, tannins, flavonoids, carbohydrates and terpenoids etc. Larvicidal bioassay done and number of mortality of larvae was observed, including in the control (0%) during the two days. The plant is easily available and has high content of Phytochemicals. Due to the presence of high amount of active principles Ficus elastica, Roxb.; show highest range of mortality after two days.

Phytochemical, larvicidal bioassay, Ficus elastica.
