Abstract
Agro-Homeopathy is the specialized area of homeopathic practice used to treat garden and agriculture. Homoeopathic preparations are being used efficiently for increasing active principles in medicinal plants, plant detoxification for metals, increasing plant growth rate and productivity, plant metabolism and control of diseases. This controlled experimental prospective study was planned to evaluate the effects of homoeopathic potentised medicines Phosphorus 200 CH and Pulsatilla 200 CH on plant growth (length, diameter and mass of fresh matter of whole plant) using Allium cepa L. as model system in natural environment. Seeds were sown in designated area of campus of Homoeopathy University, Saipura, Sanganer, jaipur, Rajasthan, India. Total 105 plants were grown in three groups (A, B and C) each having 35 plants. They were treated with Phosphorus 200 CH, Pulsatilla 200 CH and normal water respectively. After 14 weeks all the plants were measured in their entire growth for length, bulb diameter and mass. The application of potentised homoeopathic medicine Phosphorus 200CH and Pulsatilla 200CH on Allium cepa demonstrated a beneficial result as observed by significant difference in plant length, bulb diameter and mass between the experimental and control groups. Pulsatilla 200 CH induced early flowering in Allium cepa in relation to the control group.
