I wondered if any members of the group had any knowledge or experience
of this. What I mean by a homeopathic effect here is one where the
active ingredient is present in such a small dilution as to rule out
any biochemical explanation. If, as claimed, these remedies work
with people and animals, one might expect they should work with
plants.

I've not tried homeopathy for plant diseases, but I did try it for feeding.
I fed some plants with a very, very dilute solution of fertiliser (one ml.
fertlizer to 1000 gallons of water). I saved a lot of money but the plants
died. I suspect the mixture had not been diluted enough.

Good luck

I heartily recommend the low-cost environmentally-friendly high-potency
homoeopathic weedkiller. If you apply it properly, it does no harm at
all to wildlife or to your treasured plants, and you can get it
straight from the tap.

I haven't tried out homeopathy and assume it's bunkum, however working
on the premise that everything can be found on google:

I think vodka is the active ingredient here ( and i can't supress a
huge grin ); I also think if you follow his advice you'll come to a
poor end. The fungus will spread to all your crop! This guy assumes
alcohol will kill it all.

There are lots of other articles on google, but i'll try to give you a
saner one that may not do too much harm ( one i read in a paper in
India ): http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/3977351.stm
I found that quite funny until Dad pointed out that the sugar might
attract ants on to the leaves and clear out worm larvae, or it is the
Phosphoric acid in the Coke..or perhaps it's the sugar boost.

I'd like to try this and see for myself, with my flowers.
