Implication

Biosynthesized silver nanoparticles show significant larvicidal and antibacterial activity against Culex quinquefasciatus and Staphylococcus aureus, indicating their eco-friendly potential.

Key Points

Neem-mediated silver nanoparticles demonstrated effective larvicidal activity against mosquito larvae, highlighting their potential in vector control.
Probit analysis revealed the 24-hour LC₅₀ for AgNPs at 0.0279 mg L⁻¹ compared to 0.1985 mg L⁻¹ for neem extract, indicating greater potency.
Characterization included UV-Vis spectroscopy and SEM, confirming the presence of predominantly spherical 20–50 nm particles with distinct functional groups.
These findings support the idea that neem-mediated AgNPs may serve as sustainable alternatives for antimicrobial agents in environmental management.
