In the current scenario, the intensive use of agrochemicals and pesticides has become a widespread practice in agriculture, aimed at enhancing crop yield, protecting against pests and diseases which has lead to deleterious impacts on plants like phytotoxicity, reduced germination rates, compromised photosynthetic efficiency and increased susceptibility to stress and nutritional deficiencies, giving rise to potential risks to food safety and human health upon consumption. This study is aimed to know the effect of Silicea a Homoeopathic medicine on growth of plants. Silica is known to be an overlooked element which has potential to improves plant photosynthesis and aids in the plant uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, zinc etc. increases plant resistance to fungal disease and pest attack because of harder epidermal cells, ability to survive and even thrive in high salinity areas and drought hit areas. Thus a need for ecofreindly agricultural practices that can minimize the use of synthetic products, chemicals and pesticides, promoting ecological balance and ensuring the long-term viability of plant life and agricultural ecosystems.
