Central Potato Research Station, Jalandhar, 144 003, (Punjab).
Eighteen homoeopathic drugs were tried for their potential against storage on storage rots of potatoes in an ‘Evaporatively Cooled Store’, Natrum hypochlorosum 30 was most promising, with no rot in treated tubers till 130 days. All other drugs delayed rot initiation by 35 to 65 days as compared to control. At the end of storage all except Quercusf significantly reduced rot incidence by 61.8 to 91.4% and disease index between 67.6 to 91.4 %. Higher potencies of Sulphur iodatum proved more effective in delaying rot initiation.
