The use of larval source management as a supplementary intervention for malaria control has not been widely used in rural Africa due to perceived high costs and complex logistics. To reduce the cost of larviciding in rice farming communities, concurrent application of biolarvicides and fertilizer in rice fields was introduced to control malaria vectors larvae and improve rice grain yields. The present study determined rice farmers’ perceptions and acceptability in the use of a combination of biolarvicide and fertilizers in farming practices.
