| dc.description.abstract | Environment pollution appears to be a necessary evil of all development. In addition mosquitoes are not only a nuisance as biting insects, but are also involved in transmitting disease to humans and animals. So an eco-friendly approach to control mosquito is warranted. Lemon grass is a bio degradable, anti allergic, cost effective mosquito repellent commonly available. Hence the cotton fabric was treated with Lemon grass oil and leaf. The results reveal that the treated sample has good mosquito repellency. The wear study results show that the lemon grass oil finish was effective up to five washes and the lemon grass leaf extract treated sample was effective up to three washes. | en_US |
