Abstract
⺠Larvicidal activity of synthesized silver nanoparticles utilizing aqueous extract from Eclipta prostrata was investigated against Culex quinquefasciatus and Anopheles subpictus. ⺠The synthesized AgNPs characterized by UV-vis spectrum, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared and X-ray diffraction. ⺠The maximum efficacy was observed in synthesized AgNPs against C. quinquefasciatus (LC50 = 4.56 mg/L; LC90 = 13.14 mg/L). ⺠The maximum efficacy was observed in synthesized AgNPs against A. subpictus (LC50 = 5.14 mg/L; LC90 = 25.68 mg/L). ⺠SEM analyses of the synthesized AgNPs were measured 35-60nm in size. ⺠FTIR identify the biomolecules responsible for the reduction of Ag+ ions.
