Abstract

Background: a study based on growing plants in hydroponic system. Hydroponics is a method of growing plants without using soil (i.e., soil less) and this method is also helpful which requires only little amount of water. Chemical agriculture dominates traditional organic forming due to assessed yield and reduced infection. But over a period of time, we started experiencing damaging effects of chemical applications. Homeopathic remedies stimulate immune system to fight disorders. Objective: this study to bring out the effectiveness of homeopathy treatment in increasing plant tolerance to stressors in the environment, and also bring out the positive effect of plant growth in normal fresh water & saline water, increasing immune system response thereby enhancing productivity of glycine max, so that we can obtain purest form of edible soya beans. This method has been done to develop a natural, simple and inexpensive method to increase agriculture production. Materials & Methods: a study was done at my home and 60 plants are taken for the study each is kept in 12 separate set of hydroponics with positive and negative control (both fresh water & saline water). This is an experimental study on glycine max plants. Homeopathic medicine of silicea terra 6c is given in 12 sets of hydroponic system. Result: the plants are very healthy while treating under fresh water with silicea 6c weekly wise when compared to others. Growth parameters such as length of the shoot, number of leaves, number of pods, number of buds, and number of flowers are also increased under this administration. Then second comes under the saline water with silicea 6c daily wise. Conclusion: homeopathic medicine having action on the plant growth parameter. From it became clear that silicea 6c increases plant tolerance to saline stressors in the environment, thereby enhancing plant productivity and increasing the nutritive value. This can be understood by the histological studies which showed the internal essence of the plant using homeopathic drugs in agriculture is simple inexpensive and effective.
