ABSTRACT
Agro-homoeopathy, a specialized field of homeopathy, offers a non-toxic approach to managing garden and agricultural pests. This study evaluates the efficacy of Thuja Occidentalis 200 in controlling Leucinodes Orbonalis, a devastating pest affecting Solanum Melongena (eggplant). Traditional pesticides used to combat this pest have adverse effects on both human health and the environment. The research aims to provide an eco-friendly alternative to pest control by using homeopathic remedies. Thirty Solanum Melongena plants were divided into three groups: an intervention group treated with Thuja Occidentalis 200CH, a reference group treated with insecticides, and a control group. The results of this study will contribute to safer and more sustainable agricultural practices.
Keywords: Agro homoeopathy, Solanum melongena, Thuja occidentalis 200C, Chemical pesticides, Leucinodes Orbonalis (Fruit borer and Shoot borer).
