Nanoparticles Characterization of Homoeo Agrocare (agro homeopathic drug) by HRTEM and EDS Analysis
E S Rajendran
Abstract
Background Homeopathy as a therapeutic tool is still very nascent in plant science and agriculture. Therapies used for plant growth and diseases are not relevant for plants alone, but they also drastically influence the ecosystem of the organic world too. Pesticides and chemical fertilizers was a boon during the initial phase of the green revolution around the world. Unfortunately, later they became the major reason for the chronic illnesses like cancers and a cause for soil degradation all over. The scenario demands the use of alternative models in agricultural practices in order to prevent diseases and to maintain the health status of the population. This is also very important to get rid of the damages done to the soil.
Aims The present study aimed at analyzing the material content of the agro-homeopathic drug, ‘Homeo agrocare’.
Methodology High resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) and Energy dispersion spectroscopy (EDS) were used to evaluate the material content of the drug. DLS and HRTEM were used for the analysis of control sample (Pharmaceutical grade alcohol).

Results
- (1) Drug solution contains plenty of nanoparticles (NPs).
(2) Size of NPs ranges between 4.99nm - 93.09 nm.
(3) Twenty elements were identified in fields studied.
(4) No particles identified in the control sample by DLS and HRTEM analysis.
