Abstract
Recently, the biofabrication of metal nanoparticles has gained wide interest owing to its inherent features such as swift, simplicity, eco-friendliness, and cheaper costs. Different green-reducing agents led to the production of nanoparticles with varying toxicity on insects. In the current study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were successfully synthesized using Habenaria plantaginea leaf extract. Ag nanoparticles were studied by UV-Vis spectroscopy (UV-Vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). H. plantaginea extract and AgNPs were tested for mosquito larvicidal activity on Anopheles stephensi, Aedes aegypti, Culex quinquefasciatus, An. subpictus, Ae. albopictus, and Cx. tritaeniorhynchus. LC50 values were 102.51, 111.99, 123.47, 123.96, 136.56, 149.42 μg/ml and 12.23, 13.38, 14.78, 14.37, 15.39, 16.89 μg/ml, respectively. Moreover, H. plantaginea aqueous extract and AgNPs were tested against the non-target species Anisops bouvieri, Diplonychus indicus, Poecilia reticulata, and Gambusia affinis obtaining LC50 values ranging from 831.8...Continue Reading
