  • A gold nanoparticle composition for controlling or inhibiting the growth of red palm weevil. The gold nanoparticle composition can include Peperomia blanda gold nanoparticles (PB-AuNPs) either alone or in combination with a separate extract of Peperomia blanda (PB), thereby forming PB-AuNPs. In an embodiment, the PB-AuNPs/PB can be applied to soil to protect a date palm plant growing therein from red palm weevil.
