A Study on Germination, Phyto-Chemical Analysis and Anti-Microbial Activity in Vigna Radiata and Trigonella foenum using Homoeopathic Biochemic Drugs Calcarea Phosphorica 6x, Calcarea Flourica 6x and Silicea 6x
Abstract: AbstractThis study evaluates the action of homoeopathic bio-chemic medicines as a supplement in germination. Two seeds (Vigna radiata and Trigonella foenum) was germinated in control, calcarea phosphorica 6x, calcarea flourica 6x and silicea 6x. The radicle length indicated the extent of germination. The quality of germinated seeds was studied by phytochemical and anti-microbial study on aqueous and methanolic extracts. In Vigna radiata, Calcarea flourica 6x (CF) initiate the germination and …
