APPLICATION OF HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINES IN ADDITION WITH SYNTHETIC CHEMICALS IN THE CONTROL OF ROOT ROT AND ROOT KNOT PATHOGENS AND ON THE GROWTH OF CROP PLANTS
Hanif A., S. Dawar (2018)
ABSTRACT
The present study was carried out to control the root rot fungi (Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium spp. and Macrophomina phaseolina) and root knot nematode (Meloidogyne javanica) by treating leguminous (mung bean and mash bean) and non-leguminous (sunflower and okra) seeds with homeopathic drugs in addition with soil drenching with fungicides and nematicides, respectively. Of the different combined and individual applications of seed treatment and soil drenching, it was found that, combined application of the tested seeds treated with Arnica montana and Thuja occidentalis at 75% concentration and soil drenching with dithane and mancozeb at 0.1% showed enhancement in growth as well as suppressed the colonization of root rot fungi. In case of the management of root knot nematode, best result was achieved when leguminous and non-leguminous seeds were treated with 75% concentration of Santonine-43. Soil drenched with tenekil at 0.1% remarkably reduced the M. javanica infection and improved the growth parameters of the tested crops followed by tested seeds treated with Kent-20 at 75% concentration and soil drenched with furadan at 0.1%.
Keywords: Homeopathic medicines, fungicides, nematicides, root rot fungi and root-knot nematodes.
