Abstract
Objectives: This study explores the efficacy of homoeopathic medicines Lapis Albus 200C and Borax 200C in preventing BER in tomato plants. Material and Methods: Experimental groups included untreated control plants, plants treated with Lapis Albus 200 and plants treated with Borax 200. Treatments were applied bi-weekly, and plant growth, health and yield were monitored over 85 days. Results: Results indicated that both Lapis Albus 200 and Borax 200 significantly improved plant height, yield of healthy tomatoes and reduced flowering time compared to the control group. Group C (Borax 200) exhibited the greatest improvements, with the highest mean stem height of 11 cm (Standard deviation [SD] 0.85), the highest yield of healthy tomatoes at 50% (53 tomatoes) and the shortest flowering time at 49 days (SD 1.22). Group B (Lapis Albus 200) showed a mean stem height of 10 cm (SD 0.77), a yield of 42.45% (25 tomatoes) and a mean flowering time of 50 days (SD 1.41). The control group had a mean stem height of 8 cm (SD 0.81), a yield of 7.54% (8 tomatoes) and a mean flowering time of 55 days (SD 2.68). Conclusion: These findings suggest that homoeopathic treatments may enhance Ca uptake and distribution, improving overall plant health and resilience under stress conditions. The study underscores the potential of Lapis Albus 200C and Borax 200C in managing BER and promoting sustainable tomato production. Future research should focus on the mechanisms through which these remedies influence Ca dynamics and plant stress responses, aiming to integrate homoeopathic treatments into broader agricultural management strategies.
