"Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using leaf aqueous extract of Coleus aromaticus, Wrightiatinctoria provides a potential source for the larvicidal and pupicidal activity against Cx. quinquefasciatus. Between the two plants studied, the LC50 and LC90 values indicate that Coleus aromatics synthesized silver nanoparticles were more effective than Wrightiatinctoria.
