Protection for Vegetable Plants Missing...India
Some vegetable plants such as courgettes (zucchini – baby marrows), tomatoes and French beans
grown in this practitioner’s garden used to suffer from a powdery mildew soon after their first crop, then
collapse and die, even though they are frequently fed with cow manure and worming compost, and
treated with a solution of Neem oil mixed with a chilli and soap solution.
She was told to put one drop of SR264 Silicea 6X in a watering can soon after planting and
continue it weekly throughout the growing period. This simple treatment did wonders! The wilting plants
started to recover, thus giving higher yield. The new ones just planted grew to be strong, healthy and very
productive.
This information comes from Homoeopathy for Farm & Garden by Vaikanthanath Kaviraj.
Also recommended is soaking seeds in Silicea 6x prior to germinating.
Another practitioner wrote in to say that a grower in Auroville has tried Silicea 30C on plants and gets
better results from this compared to using other organic pesticides.
