Acetogenins isolated from the seeds of Annona squamosa shows a number of biological activities. In the present study acetogenins in binary combinations with other plant products like Azadirachta indica and Allium sativum have shown larvicidal and growth regulating activities at a concentration of 1 mg against Anopheles stephensi. Mortality in the larvae, pupae and adults produced 79-86% fall in population with respect to control. There was also a decrease in total developmental period as compared to control.
