  • Silver nanoparticles made by a green synthesis method using silver nitrate and a chlorophyll derivative, such as a chlorophyllin are provided. The thus produced silver nanoparticles can have a crystalline structure and an average particle size ranging from about 10 nm to about 40 nm. The disclosed silver nanoparticles may be useful in treating, preventing, and/or reducing insect infestation of a variety of plants, particularly date palms.
