Table 2

Larvicidal activity of Clitoria ternatea flower extracts against early 4th instar larvae of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus.

Larvae	LC50 (mg/L) (95% LCL-UCL)	LC95 (mg/L) (95% LCL-UCL)	χ^2	df	R
A. aegypti	1056 (981–1121) Y = −14.142 + 4.722X	2491 (2094–2641) Y = −14.142 + 4.722X	30^∗	22	0.667
A. albopictus	1425 (1352–1491) Y = −19.682 + 6.282X	2753 (2374–2881) Y = −19.682 + 6.282X	30^∗	22	0.882

N_a: total number of mosquitoes larvae used, n = 25 each with 4 replicates; LC50: lethal concentration 50% mortality; LC95: lethal concentration 95% mortality; LCL: lower confidence limits; UCL: upper confidence limits; χ²: Pearson chi-square; df: degrees of freedom; R: Pearson’s R (note: chi-square values with an asterisk are significant ()).
