Abstract

Presently there is an increase in the use of chemicals for cultivation of plants. This has affected the general health of the consumers. The aim of this current study is to assess the germination, growth and yield of Cucumis sativus using homoeopathic Biochemic medicines Calcarea phosphoricum 3X, Calcarea sulphurica 3X and Silicea 3X. Total of 40 samples were used, dividing them into 4 groups of 10 each randomly. The intervention Placebo, Calcarea phosphoricum 3X, Calcarea sulphurica 3X and Silicea 3X were administered to the corresponding groups.
