标题：EFFECT OF BIOSYN T HESIZED IRON SULFIDE (FeS) NANOPARTICLES ON THE GREEN PEACH APHID M Y Z US PERSICAE (HOMOPTERA: APHIDIDAE) LON GEVIT Y AND FE CUNDIT Y
摘要：In this study, the iron sulfide (FeS) nanoparticles synthesized using Artemisia herba-alba plant leaves extract as stabilizing and dispersing agent and characterized using different techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-vis absorption spectroscopy (Uv-vis) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The morphology of biosynthesized iron sulfide nanoparticles was spherical in shape with 40 nm in size. The efficacy of green synthesized FeS NPs against the green peach aphid longevity and fecundity was evaluated. The results revealed that the biosynthesized FeS NPs had significant effect on the green peach aphid longevity and fecundity for three generation. In conclusion, the biosynthesized iron sulfide nanoparticles were potential to be implemented in integrated pest management of the green peach aphid after investigation at the field level.
