This is a good piece of research. sometimes skeptical scientists have suggested that homeopathy works only as a placebo. Of course, I believe it is so much more! Plants are not susceptible to placebo or suggestion (as far as we know 😉 ) and yet these have really benefitted from homeopathy. I hear lots of anecdotal evidence from colleagues who have had success using homeopathy for their plants!
A recent study from Brazil assessed the impact of homeopathic preparations Sulphur 30CH and Calcarea carbonica 30CH, on Capsicum sweet pepper crops grown in a greenhouse or in the field. Sulphur was found to improve plant growth and fruit size in the field, whilst Calcarea carbonica affected greenhouse plant height. Although pests were present for all treated plants, the homeopathic preparations appeared to enhance plant growth and recovery after damage. Calcarea carbonica also showed promise in reducing fungal decay of sweet pepper fruits. This study highlights the potential for homeopathy to increase productivity and resilience of food crops grown in different horticultural environments: https://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/11991
