Abstract

Antiaflatoxic and antifungal properties of seven homoeodrugs each in seven potencies were tested against Aspergillus parasiticus under ‘in vitro’ and ‘in vivo’ conditions. Pre inoculation treatments,  Belldona 3, 6, 12, Caladium 3, 1M, 10M, Drosera 6, 12, 30, 200, 1M, 10M, Hypericum 3, 30, 200, 1M, 10M, Lachesis 3, 6, 12 and 1M appeared as most effective preventives whereas Belldona 12, 30, 200, Drosera 3, 12, 30, 1M, Hypericum 3, 6, 12, 1M, 10M, Lachesis 3, 6, 12, 30 and 10M emerged as most curative treatments as  their use could  control 100% aflatoxin G1 production on groundnut seeds. Hence, aflatoxin on groundnut could be controlled quite successfully by these homoeodrugs.
