The resulting nano particles are characterised using U.V visible spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The nano particles are spherical in shape with 2nm size, which exhibited significant (p=0.05) nematicidal activity against Meloidogyne incognita on groundnut. The highest rate of application (80 mL) was the most effective. Significantly (p=0.05), vegetative growth and fruit weight was enhanced in different degrees with a decrease in nematode population. Ficus mucoso silver nano particles could be efficiently used in Meloidogyne incognita management on groundnut fieldsenFicus mucoso; Meloidogyne incognita; silver nano particles; pollution; nematodesArticle
