| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to expand on previous research in Homoeopathy, using the cabbage (Brassica oleracae) and crucifer downy mildew (Peronospora parasitica) disease system. More specifically, this study aimed to evaluate the biological effects of homoeopathic treatments made from a fungicide, Acrobat, on the development of downy mildew on cabbage seedlings. The object was to demonstrate the Arndt-Schulz Law or Hormesis (inhibition of growth at high concentrations and growth stimulation at low concentrations) using homoeopathic treatments prepared as per homoeopathic methodology, by dilution and succussion. | en_US |
