Application of Medicinal Plant Synthesized Silver Nanoparticles on Seedling Growth and Antimicrobial Efficacy- A Holistic Approach | Chapter 2 | Current Innovations in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 4

 From collected leaf extracts of the plants Oldenlandia corymbosa, Euphorbia heterophylla, Heliotropium indicum, and Leonurus sibiricus, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were created. By using UV-VIS spectroscopy, a PSA, and Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis, the synthesised AgNPs were verified and described. We looked examined how AgNPs affected the vigna radiata seedling evaluation and the effectiveness of pathogenic bacterial species' antibacterial defences. Compared to control seeds, seeds treated with concentration-varying manufactured AgNPs demonstrated a greater activity for seedling growth at 0.6 gm/mL concentration. Furthermore, at a dosage of 75 g/mL, bactericidal activity was greater against Gram-negative bacteria than against Gram-positive bacteria. Thus, biobased nano-treated seeds were employed in place of chemical fertilisers to expose seedlings in agricultural areas, reducing environmental risks and enhancing a sustainable agricultural ecosystem. Additionally, silver nano made in these labs from biobased materials is utilised to stop the spread of dangerous microorganisms.
