The citronella plant (Cymbopogon nardus) is an aromatic plant that contains chemicals that are found in many of its stems and leaves. The main ingredient in lemongrass leaves is essential oil which has antimicrobial properties but has a low toxic level. The content of lemongrass decoction can influence the growth of mosquito larvae. This study aims to determine the effect of the concentration of citronella leaf decoction (Cymbopogon nardus) on the growth of mosquito larvae. This research uses experimental methods. The results of the study showed that a concentration of 100% lemongrass leaf decoction was the concentration that had the most influence on the growth of mosquito larvae with a mortality rate of 80%.
