Root-knot disease of mulberry caused by the nematode Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid & White) Chitwood, has important economic implications for sericulture (silk farming). The Homeopathic medicines; Aakashmoni mother tincture (MT) and potentised Aakashmoni 30C, Aakashmoni 200C and Aakashmoni 1000C, prepared from the crude extract from the funicles of Acacia auriculiformis A. Cunn , will be applied by foliar spray on mulberry (Morus alba L.,cv.S1) infected with M. incognita juveniles (J2). Pre-treatment (ending 6 days before inoculation) and post-treatment (starting 6 days after inoculation) schedules will be tested. The uninoculated control batches will be treated with the same procedure with Aakashmoni mother tincture (MT), Aakashmoni 30C, Aakashmoni 200C and Aakashmoni 1000C. Both preand post-treatment significantly reduced nematode infection in terms of root gall number and nematode population in root. All the treated plants showed improved growth in terms of fresh biomass of shoot and root, length of shoot and root, number of leaves, leaf surface area, root and leaf-protein content. Aakashmoni 200C is the most effective medicine in all respects of nematode control as well as growth of the test plants. Pre-treatments show slightly better effects than the post-treatments. It is interesting that inoculated and treated plants not only are less affected by nematodes but also have a better growth than uninoculated untreated controls.

Abstract Homeopathic science was designed by German physician Christian Fredrich Samuel Hahnemann for over 200 years and it is based mainly in the law of similar (Similia Similibus Curantur). Currently, this science is being used in various segments of agriculture, especially in the area of plant protection. For its contribution on the auto regulation of the soilplant-atmosphere system, the homeopathy can assist in the maintenance process of the plants health for its tonic effect and/or by inhibition effect directly on the pathological agents. Moreover, homeopathy is a low cost alternative to chemical fungicides, easy to use by farmers and how it is used in high dilutions, presenting an irrelevant environmental impact. So, this review aims to demonstrate the potential of homeopathy as a tool to control plant pathogens and its contribution for a sustainable agriculture.
