Description
Summary:This article explores agro-homoeopathy as a holistic and sustainable approach to plant health, based on the recognition of plants as living, self-regulating patients. It discusses the concept of disease in plants as a disturbance of internal regulation and outlines how homoeopathic principles can be applied to manage infections, nutrient deficiencies, and environmental stress conditions. The article presents the theoretical foundation, historical evolution, application guidelines, and remedy selection for climatic stresses such as cold, heat, drought, and excess moisture. Repertorial rubrics relevant to plant pathology are also highlighted. Agro-homoeopathy is presented as an eco-friendly, non-toxic, and cost-effective complement to modern agricultural practices.
