An Experimental Study to Establish the Role of Salicylicum Acidum 30CH in Controlling Anthracnose Fungal Infections in Phaseolus Vulgaris

Aim: To evaluate Salicylicum acidum 30CH anti-fungal effectiveness against anthracnose-infected Phaseolus Vulgaris plants. Study design: Experimental study. Place and Duration of Study: MNR Homoeopathic Medical College and Hospital – Green House, Sangareddy, Telangana, India. Between February 2024 and August 2024. Methodology: The overall sample size is 30 plants. The study consisted of three groups (A, B, and C), each containing ten plants. Group A served as the placebo control, Group B received fungicide treatment, and Group C was treated with Salicylicum acidum 30CH. The following parameters were analyzed: pod length, shoot length, healthy leaves, seeds per pod, and number of pods. The data was statistically analyzed using a single-factor ANOVA test. Results: Statistical analysis revealed significant variations in plant parameters (pod length, shoot length, healthy leaves, seeds per pod, and number of pods) among the three study groups, with respective variances of 9.75, 25.33, 229.3, 4, and 12.33. The calculated F-value (7.95) exceeded the critical F-value (3.47) at a 5% significance level (df = 4, 10). The resulting P-value (0.00375) was less than 0.01, providing strong evidence to reject the null hypothesis and support the research hypothesis. Conclusion: According to the findings of this study, Salicylicum acidum 30CH is as effective as a fungicide in improving the features of Phaseolus Vulgaris that are influenced by the anthracnose.
