This study addresses the destructive impact of golden apple snails on rice production by evaluating the bio-ovicidal activity of Persicaria barbata and Crescentia cujete extracts enhanced with green synthesized copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs). Ultrasound-assisted extraction and coconut sap vinegar were used as the optimal extraction methods. The synthesized CuONPs were characterized by UV-Vis spectrophotometer, showing surface plasmon resonance (SPR) bands at 301 nm for C. cujete and 307 nm for P. barbata. FTIR analysis indicated the presence of CuO bonds at 426.59 cm−1 to 594.12 cm−1, and SEM-EDX revealed unique morphological and elemental compositions, with strong signals for copper and oxygen, along with weaker signals for potassium, sulfur, and carbon, reflecting the phytochemical constituents in the extracts. Treated golden apple snail eggs showed no hatchability, and a changed color from bright pink to black were observed indicating mortality. Probit analysis revealed LC50 values of 67.55% for P. barbata CuONPs and 82.97% for C. cujete CuONPs, with P. barbata obtaining higher toxicity at lower concentrations. The study demonstrates that green synthesized CuONPs from Persicaria barbata and Crescentia cujete extracts effectively inhibit the hatchability of golden apple snail eggs, indicating the potential eco-friendly pesticide for pest control in rice production.
