@ Sagar, use of different Homeopathy medicines in different potencies to develop immunity in plants, control pest and disease and influence of plant growth opens new vistas for further research in Applied Homeopathy in Agriculture. Recently the homoeopathic medicines Sulphur, Silicea terra and Nux vomica have been assessed on different plants of commercial interest, including corn, while the use of other HOM treatments is recommended, such as Calcarea carbonica, Carbo vegetabilis and Magnesia carbonica . A suitable Materia Medica for plants with proper Repertory is required to be prepared. For more details please have a look of the attached files.

Hello Dr. Sagar S. More,

There is a book entitled "Homeopathy for Plants: A Practical Guide for Indoor, Balcony, and Garden Plants" which might be of help to you. Homeopathic medicines for the wholesome growth and development of plants may at best serve as supplements but never as substitutes. And usually the concentration of minerals present in over the counter homeopathic medicines may not simply be sufficient to cater to the needs of a braod category of plants since the minerals and metalloids used are mainly aimed at human.

Homeopathy has been applied to horticulture for a long time but its use as a viable alternative to plant medicines and supplements should not be wholeheartedly relied upon in my view. Apart from foliar application there is always the risk of the medicne being lost in a natural matrix such as soil, based on the latter's CEC.

It can be done, has been done, and we still have specific plant medicines hence the approach does appear to have its cons.

With regards,

Dr. Abhishek Mukherjee

Thanks alot Tarafdar sir, Abhishek sir and Chinaza sir for giving your valuable inputs.

Very interesting questions and equally interesting answers..It seems to be an interesting researchable issue. As a matter of principle, homeopathy should work on plants as it works on humans. Big starting question seems to be how homoeopathic doses can be administered to plants, particularly those of deficient nutrients and via soil. I would love to read more answers.

Thanks Bijay sir for your appreciation. I have ordered some homoeopathic medicines of high potency to check whether they overcome deficiency or not. Phosphorus based medicine and calcium based medicine. I have not selected crop yet but I will be selecting a crop which shows the deficiency symtomps easily and overcome easily like a indicator plant.

Please suggest if any to take this experiment.

Suggestions will always be welcomed.

Thanks

I am an allopathy doc. But curious enough to know the ethical issues involved in this

Nice topic.
