Abstract: The secretion of phytochemicals as reducing agents from Azadirachta indica can be used for synthesis of metal nanoparticles from metals salts. One of the ecofriendly and reliable processes for manufacturing silver nanoparticles, AgNPs , shows significant milestones in the field of nanotechnology. Biosynthesis is more preferable than chemical synthesis method since it is cost effective, sustainable towards environment, no pollution to soil or environment, improvises environmental conditions and human health safety. Thus, the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using neem leaves extract was carried out in present study. The process was carried out by treating aqueous silver nitrate solution.......
