Despite the proven efficiency of green synthesis approaches, plant callus extracts for nanoparticle synthesis remain moderately investigated. The current study bridges the gap by synthesizing ecofriendly silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) using callus extracts of <em>Boerhavia diffusa</em> (Punarnava), an important medicinal plant with proven potential pharmacological properties. These synthesized <em>Boerhavia diffusa-</em>mediated Ag-NPs (BD-Ag-NPs) were characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy, SEM, FTIR, and XRD. Spectral analysis showed spherical-shaped BD-Ag-NPs with an average size of 9 nm at wavelength 420 nm. Energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis revealed that silver ions constituted 51.78 % of the total weight of the nanoparticle solutions, while the crystalline structure of the BD-Ag-NPs was confirmed through XRD. Phytoconstituents present in the callus were utilized for capping and the reduction of Ag ions to Ag-NPs was confirmed through FTIR analysis. In addition, BD-Ag-NPs exhibited functional properties like textile dye degradation and broad-spectrum antimicrobial activities against bacterial and fungal pathogens. The current study highlights the potential of employing callus-derived nanoparticles for sustainable environment and biomedical applications.
