The synthesis of silver nanoparticles from plant extract includes providing a solution including silver nitrate； providing an aqueous extract of the Abelmoschus esculentus (Okra) plant or plant part； mixing the silver nitrate solution and the extract solution to form an aqueous mixture； and resting the aqueous mixture for a period of time to form silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The resulting silver nanoparticles demonstrate antimicrobial activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative pathogens.
