In this direction a research is mainly carried out for the development of mosquito repellent finished cotton fabric using lemon eucalyptus leaves extract. A series of experiment were conducted to optimize the concentration of lemon eucalyptus leaves, concentration of lemon eucalyptus leaves extract, concentration of mordant and dyeing time on the basis of optical density and mosquito repellency test. After that dyed samples with lemon eucalyptus leaves were mordanted with different concentration of polyvinyl alcohol for different time and tested for wash durability and mosquito repellency test and its provides 95 percent mosquito repellency.
