Larvicidal and antioxidant activity of green silver nanoparticles synthesized using Musa acuminate peel extract against Aedes aegypti

The present study pertains to the exploitation of biowaste generated through Banana (Musa acuminate L.) peels for the synthesis of green silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and their bioactivity was evaluated for managing the dengue vector, Aedes aegypti. UV-VIS specrtophotometery was used for confirming AgNPs synthesis and a peak was observed at 426 nm. Characterization of AgNPs was done using Scanning electron microscopy which depicted spherical...
