The study investigates the larvicidal properties of essential oil and nanoemulsion derived from Coleus aromaticus Benth leaves against Aedes aegypti larvae. It reveals a significant phenolic content and promising antioxidant activity. The essential oil demonstrated larvicidal effects with an LC50 of 3.24 mg L-1, while the nanoemulsion exhibited even greater efficacy at 1.83 mg L-1. These findings suggest the potential of both products as biocontrol agents in combating Aedes aegypti, highlighting the market viability of the nanoemulsion.
