Abstract
Biologically produced nanoparticles are widely
used in various fields, including agriculture and health. Nanotechnology
research indicates that green chemistry approaches might provide
technologically significant nanomaterials. The advantages of ZnO Nanoparticles
are their low cost, safety, and ease of preparation. The current investigation
aimed to examine the synthesis and analysis of ZnO NPs derived from leaf
extract of Azadirachta indica, Calotropis gigantea, and Ricinus
communis. XRD and FESEM were used to characterize the ZnO NPs. The green synthesis
approach, which uses fewer chemicals to make nanoparticles than standard
procedure, has been proven environmentally beneficial. The ovicidal efficacy of
green-produced zinc oxide nanoparticles against Spodoptera litura is
investigated in this work. The results of this study indicate that ZnO NPs are
an effective tool for integrated pest management and have the potential to be
used as an alternative to the more lethal pesticides. The ovicidal activity of
ZnO NPs is significantly impacted by lowering the hatchability of eggs. It is
concluded that ZnO NPs can be biologically synthesized very quickly, easily,
affordably, environmentally, and without any side effects.
