Author Name: M Jeba Renciya; R Naveena Sri;
Abstract
This study examines using Leucas aspera leaves to create an insect-repellent finish on textiles via the padding mangle process. The extract was evenly applied to cotton fabric, then dried and cured. The results show that Leucas aspera provides an effective, natural alternative to synthetic insect repellents for textiles.
