Use of homeopathic drugs in combination with fertilizers for the control of root rot fungi

This study was conducted to evaluate the fungicidal effectiveness of homeopathic drugs in combination with fertilizers on the growth production and controlling of root rot fungi. seeds treated with homeopathic drugs in addition of phosphorous and nitrogen fertilizers as soil amendment showed significant inhibitory effect on fungal growth as well as improved the plant growth. remarkable control of root infecting fungi was shown by the seeds treated with thuja occidentalis and arnica montana @ 75% v/v concentration and soil amended with urea @ 0.1% w/w but greater increased in plant growth was observed by urea @ 0.01% in the tested plants viz.,mung bean,mash bean,sunflower and okra. whereas,when a. montana and t. occidentalis @ 75% v/v concentration along with the addition of dap @ 0.01 and 0.1% w/w respectively showed maximum suppression of fusarium spp,r. solani and m. phaseolina and enhanced the plant height and weight followed by a. montana and t. occidentalis @ 50% v/v concentration respectively showed a maximum control of root rot fungi and also strengthened the crop plant for better growth. © 2015,pakistan botanical society. all rights reserved.
