Biosynthesis, Characterization, Evaluation, and Shelf-Life Study of Silver Nanoparticles against Cotton Bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) (Noctuidae: Lepidoptera)
Abstract:Nanoparticles provide a promising and alternative platform of eco-friendly technologies that encompasses better cost-resilient remedies against one of the most economically harnessing insect pests of cotton. The main goal of this research was to provide a better management strategy through biologically synthesizing (sunlight exposure method) green nanoparticles from leaf extracts of Azadirachta indica and Pongamia pinnata and proving their bioefficacy on H. armigera (2nd instar). Characterization of bio-synthe… Show more
“…The symptoms induced by silver nanoparticles included body fluid leakage, sluggishness, inactiveness, and brittleness (Table 2). 184 Currently, biopesticides were less effective because of their less persistence and shelf-life under field conditions. Nano-based production and application of biopesticides enhance the persistence and efficacy through an eco-friendly manner.…”

“…Biosynthesis can be used for the production of nanomaterials in some cases. In the study of Anees et al [ 19 ], the green synthesis (sunlight exposure method) of Ag nanoparticles from leaf extracts of Azadirachta indica and Pongamia pinnata was performed. The nanoparticles were tested, which demonstrated their bioefficacy on H. armigera (2nd instar).…”
