Green synthesis method is considered to best alternate technique for synthesis of various nanoparticles as it is ecofriendly and safe. Also it is cost effective, less time consuming and simple method compared to chemical synthesis. The Silver nanoparticles have wide range of applications ranging from electrical to biological field due to their properties. It is considered toxic to the microorganisms and thus used for biological purposes. Here we report the synthesis of silver nanoparticle by using Capsicum annuum L as the reducing agent and also as capping agent. The results suggest the formation of silver nanorods of 50 nm length with good antibacterial properties.

Key words: Capsicum annuum; silver nanoparticles; green synthesis
