Dalbergia lanceolaria subsp. paniculata (Roxb.) Thoth. is a very important medicinal plant in the deciduous forest. Whole parts of the plant are rich in secondary metabolite, which impart miraculous medicinal uses to the plant. Plant bark is used for anthelmintic, astringent to the bowels, cures ‘Kapha’ and ‘Vata’, dysentery, leucoderma, urinary discharges, blood diseases, ulcers, skin diseases, biliousness, burning sensation and anaemias. Among the hill tribes of Chota Nagpur a decoction of the bark is given when urine highly coloured. It shows potential antibacterial, antioxidant and anti-cancerous activity. It is also good oral hypoglycemic agents and used for anti- depressant activity. It is used to treat Diabetes mellitus. It shows significant protective effect against hepatotoxicity induced by carbon tetrachloride. The present investigation is carried out to reveal the larvicidal activity of the Dalbergia lanceolaria subsp. paniculata (Roxb.) Thoth. methanolic bark and leaf extract against Aedes aegypti Linn. Larvae. It showed that the bark extract has more larvicidal activity than the leaves extract. As the source of the plant is very common and the formulation is not costly. The present study may open new approach towards the eco-friendly, biodegradable and effective larvicidal against Aedes aegypti Linn. larvae.
