In recent years the utilization of secondary metabolites from plant extract has emerged as a novel technology for the synthesis of various nanoparticles. In this paper we studied the potential of nanocrystalline palladium nanoparticles production using acaricidal, insecticidal and larvicidal efficacy of Annona squamosa L aqueous peel extract as the biomaterial for the first time. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized and confirmed as palladium nanoparticles by using UV-visible spectroscopy, XRD and TEM analysis. The results clearly showed that the compounds containing OH as a functional group played a critical role in capping the nanoparticles. Also the results highlight the possibility of green pathways to produce palladium nanoparticles. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
