General description
In plants the capillary system is disturbed so as to cause irregular distribution of circulation: congestion, inflammation - as in rusts and blotches, redness, runs through the remedy. Sluggish circulation. Defective assimilation, emaciation, thin straggly plants that get plenty of nutrients. Dried up plants which are yellowish and flabby. Photosynthesis is greatly impaired and disturbed. Worse in the heat of summer, worse at night, periodicity of 12 hours.
Effect on Plants -Named Issues
Fruit piercing moth, dried fruit beetles, fruit fly, fruit spotting bug, droopy plants, worse after rain. Capillary congestion. The plants emaciated, straggly, thin, weak. Ailments from raw, cutting winds. Worse from warmth, sun, rain, cold damp weather. Root nematode, root gall, crown gall, spots, rust, blotch blight, mildew, moulds, rots, both dry and slimy. leather leaf, blister mites, two - spotted mites. (3) Stagonosfora spots, Septtoria, black spots, stains of Saccharomyces helmithosporium offinarum saccharum, attack by pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola, is a good remedy to combat rust, especially wet rust, Puccinia striiformis, Puccinia triticina, all types including fusarium Fusarium roseum, Fusarium pseudograminearum, decay as Erwinia carotovora, Colletotrichum in apple, Monilinia fructicola, Phytophthora sp. especially Phytophthora cactorum, mold wet and dry stachybortrys chartarum, mildew, peronosphora farinosa, microsphaea alni, uromycladium, Agrobacterium tumefaciens, chlorosis pink, gangrene, damage by bacteria, Eriophyid mites in fruit, worms of different species of Spodoptera , NEMA-all in the roots, moths, fruit fly, is a potent fungicide.

Chlorosis and retardation of growth and maturity, are the main symptoms in cereals. (3) Bacteria viruses, fungi, nematodes and worms and moths. No marked symptoms evident, latency of symptoms. It is used to remedy congestive disorders and venous circulation, poor nutrition and assimilation of nutrients. Increase in size, vigor and growth in cultures of onion and garlic. Fertiliser-hungry plants. (244) Thirsty but can't absorb water (337) "Cleansing and detoxifying" remedy (337) The variables analyzed were: germination percent (PG), shoot length (CPA), root system length (CSR), fresh mass (MF) and dry matter (MS) of sorghum seedlings. Homeopathic treatments affected sorghum germination and growth, sometimes inhibiting or stimulating the variables studied depending on dynamization assessed. (1743) 12C dilution caused aerial part inhibition; there was an inhibitory effect on roots at 12 and 30c dilutions, and 6, 12 and 30C dilutions inhibited fresh biomass when compared to the control (0C) and the other dilutions. (1768) The number of fruit flies in the group sprayed with Sulphur 30 was found to be lower than the number of fruit flies in the control group ... (1815) In the case of varieties that are very demanding in terms of nutrient quantities. Induces detoxification of plants, soils and animals. (1837) The ... Sulphur ... increased plant growth and crop yield. (1878) Roots
The roots are dry or slimy, with blisters or vesicles. Epidermis comes off the roots as in root nematode, root gall, crown gall. Plants very thirsty. Great need for nutrients with impaired assimilation. (3) Roots and soil smell musty and rotten. (337) Sulphur stimulated radicle length in 12CH, 60CH and 200CH. (1723) ... at 60CH Sulphur increased by 59% the mass of roots (1765) Sulphur at 6CH increased the ... root length in comparison with a control, in two of the three experiments with cabbage seedlings. (1780) Sulphur increased root system development. (1878) Stem/trunk and bark - capillary system
Leaves
Photosynthesis is impaired, lack of oxygen carriers and subsequent congestion of the leaves. Rust, blotch, blight, mildew, moulds and stripe. Herbicide damage. Rots, both dry and slimy. Leather leaf. Spots with buff centres surrounded by a diffuse red brown aura are characteristic. (3) Purple discoloration of leaves, impaired photosynthesis. Loss of skin or dry skin, rashes in gen-eral, loss of skin pink, red, yellow, white. Internal inflammations, all toxins and is helpful to eliminate the negative ef-fects of drug suppression. The secretions are usually smelly and foul, rough skin prone to breakouts. (244) Part of foliage looks pale with aphids (337) Sticky leaves, scale and white mould spots. Leaf tips losing colour and pale (337) Eaten right away down to veins (337) Lost rich green colour (337) Edges roll up (337) Greyish white on leaves and stalks. Black spots (337) Spectacular! My roses bushes were sick, all leaves yellow and brown. Following your book Homeopathy for Farm and Garden, gave Sulfur 5 CH and in 48 hours they came back green and alive. (599) My kohlrabi was affected by whitefly. There were so many that a white cloud puffed up whenever a leaf moved. I dissolved 8-10 pellets of Sulphur 200 C in a watering can with 10 l of water, stirred with a wooden stick always in the same direction, and then I watered my plants with this. After a week I noticed an effect, with approximately 1/4 to 1/3 of the flies having disappeared. I repeated the watering treatment and now I have virtually no whitefly in the garden (496) Sulphur at all dilutions increased the mass of shoots by 23% to 37% (1765) The damage incidence of small borer was efficiently reduced with applications of Sulphur 12CH that equalled B. thuringiensis. (1775) Sulphur at 6CH increased the height ... in comparison with a control, in two of the three experiments with cabbage seedlings. ... Sulphur at 6CH increased the production and the dry mass of cabbage heads. (1780) I gave sulfur 200 to my lemon tree in the photo on March 11 (there were leaf curling and weaving because the red spiders were pulling sap from the leaves). Leaf shedding stopped, started to flower on March 28 and then to give three shoots. (1812) I conducted an experiment with my cabbage and broccoli plants. I watered some plants with Sulphur 30c twice, and I left some untreated. The difference is very obvious! (1821) Plants treated with ... Sulphur ... were less affected by Mycosphaerella (1878) Flowers

After treatment ... the plants healed in three days, and the grapes were ready for harvest. (1763) Results of controlled trials demonstrated that the use of high-dynamized dilutions of ... Sulphur ... positively influenced crop production, pest disease levels, and plant vigor in strawberry plants. (1795) Seed
no fruit, seed or grains produced (3) Lack of seeds. (244) Coumarin content of the plants was increased in the case of ... Sulphur by 52.91%, ... when compared to the control material. (1700) Regarding essential oil yield, an increase in yield (%) at 18c (0.150 ± 0.01) and 30c (0.180 ± 0.01) dilutions occurred when compared to control (0c) (0.017 ± 0.01). The essential oil presented phenylpropanoids as the main class in its composition and apiole and myristicin as major compounds in all evaluated treatments. The 12c dilution allowed an increase in apiole (96.24%) and decrease in myristicin (3.76%). However, myristicin has an increase in treatments 6c (14.65%), 18c (10.46%), 24c (13.66%) and 30c (14.80 when compared to the control 0c (5.99%). (1768) Results confirmed the effect of sulphur dilutions in the yield and composition of basil essential oil. Both the 6c and the 12c dilution rates led to the highest yield of essential oil (0.15%) when compared to the control (0.08%) and to other dilution rates (P≤0.05). The major chemical components of essential oil changed as the sulphur increased, the concentration of linalol: 33.14%(12c); 30.92%(6c); 27.13%(30c); 23.86%(24c); 7.41%(0c) and eugenol: 33.11%(24c); 32.14%(12c); 28.57%(30c); 26.51%(6c) and 7.8%(0c); in comparison with the control (0c). (1769) Sulphur 6CH [is] able to provide healthy and vigorous seedlings when compared to the control. (1781) Notes and Academic Papers
Sul. is the chronic of Acon. in rusts and where Acon. fails to cure, Sul. will rapidly cure. Follows aconitum well (3) Worse from heat, rain and the wet, the wind and the night after fertilisation. Improves with dry heat. (244) Works on anything which crawls and flies (337) Plants sensitive to heat and cold (337) Sensitive to cold and frost (337) Tonic for recovering plants (337) Whitefly in plants that cannot take up water and are sensitive to cold (337) After plant has overcome canker (337) Give to roses at the end of a growing season and there will not be aphids in subsequent seasons. (Use cimicifuga for aphids in the season.) (1531) The variables evaluated during vegetative development were: plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, weight, leaf area and productive yield. Significant differences were recorded in all the variables and stages of development studied. The highest germination values corresponded to SiT-7CH and PhA-7CH (100%), surpassing the control group (83.5%). The PhA-7CH and NaM-31CH treatments stimulated stem growth in the germination stage (3.40 cm) and NaM-7CH root growth (4.07 cm) in the emergence stage. During the vegetative development, the plants with the highest production were those treated with NaM-7CH. (1655) Among the tested homeopathy drugs, Sulphur increased values of fresh and dry biomass more than Arsenicum album. Plant height [was] increased by the two drugs and their respective dinamizations. Whereas Sulphur inhibited dry biomass production, except 6CH dinamization, it increased substantially mint plant’s essential oil content. (1712) The fresh and dry matter mass of the shoot and the root system, the average length of the root system, the average plant length, the length of the largest leaf and the root diameter were analyzed. The application of Sulphur improved the general conditions of the plants in practically all the studied variables, when compared with a control. The dinamizations 5 CH, 12 CH, 30 CH and 1 MCH showed better responses. The control and the dinamization 200 CH were the treatments that presented the most negative results. (1713) Preliminary results indicate its effectiveness, however, due to the small number of samples, yet we have no statistical evidence to say with certainty that there were differences between the control plants and their treatment. (1725) Assessment of growth of colonies was accessed at 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours, and found that within 24 hours there was no increase in mycelial growth, but at 6 CH was 26.75% suppression of growth. After 48 hours, the dynamizations at 24 and 48 CH were statistically different from the controls and promoted mycelial growth on the order of 8% and 10%, respectively. In other times there was no statistical difference. The results indicate that the homeopathic drugs dynamizated at 48 CH, promoted accelerating the initial growth of the fungus. (1735) The results show significant effects on mycelial growth highlighting the dynamic 6CH 24 hours, only 48 hours 48 CH did not differ from all other witnesses sit higher potencies in mycelial growth, only 72 hours treatment 24CH differed when compared with the witnesses. (1744) Macroscopic analysis demonstrated that plants treated with homeopathy showed less spots than plants treated conventionally. Furthermore, homeopathic preparations induced shoot growing, better pattern of vegetative growth and less defoliation. (1745) Sulphur at 12 and 30CH ..... reduced the AUDPC [area under the disease progress curve] by 17% to 49%. Sulphur at 60CH and hydroalcoholic solution at 10% had a systemic effect on resistance induction (1765) The Induction on APX (ascorbate peroxidase) and POD (Œ activities were observed in leaves treated with Sulphur in all tested potencies. (1774) Important 'pesticide for cabbage, eggplant, squashes, cucumber, cantaloupe, and potato. (1810) Effect on Soil -Effects on Climate - |
