Nanotechnology has
become one of the most promising new approaches for pest control in the recent
years and is expected to revolutionize the field of pest management in the near
future. Nanoparticles can be used as effective pesticides against weeds, plant
pathogens, and insect pests and may also be incorporated into new formulations
of insecticides and insect repellents. The biosynthesis of nanoparticles using bacteria has attracted much
researcher interest because of its intrinsic qualities and potential
applications in different fields. Bacterial synthesis of nanoparticles
is a green chemistry approach that non-toxic and economic. In this research Ag
nanoparticles were synthesized by using Pseudomonas
aeruginosa OG1 (Gram negative bacterium) under dark conditions. The
synthesized Ag nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy
(TEM). Hylopterus pruni collected
from apricot leaves. Fresh leaves were placed in petri dishes with wet cotton
and 10 H. pruni were placed on them
and nanoparticle solution (100 ppm) was sprayed on them. Sterile distilled water was used as a control.
The activity was recorded after 24 h. Our
results suggest the possibility of using AgNPs to eliminate pests and can be
used as valuable tools in pest management programs of H. pruni.
