Title : Agriculture and horticulture enrich biomedicine in high-diluted forms, preventing plant pathogens
Abstract:
The “Cultivating Innovation in Agriculture and Horticulture” sector faces global challenges like food security, climate change, resource efficiency, and sustainable rural development. Recently, farmers and food producers have been worried about pests and diseases becoming more resistant. Chemical pesticides are often effective, but they cause residual toxicity. As global temperatures rise, rainfall patterns change, and extreme weather happens more often, pests and plant pathogens thrive in ways that disrupt traditional farming practices. Thus, it's essential to focus on solutions that tackle global issues such as food security, climate change, resource efficiency, and sustainable rural development for overall well-being. The main goal is to protect human health, safeguard ecosystems, and ensure the long-term viability of agricultural systems. It has been observed that using plant parts, whole plants, or plants themselves as biomedicines in humans, agriculture, and horticulture effectively prevents diseases by triggering a natural immune response in people and inducing systemic resistance in plants to defend against pathogens before infections occur. To address this, the main objective is to use Cina, prepared from Artemesia nilagirica, high-diluted (HD) biomedicines used in agro-homeopathyprovide an eco-friendly approach centered around the nutritional agriculture kitchen garden of Kanchannagar D. N. Das High School in Burdwan, West Bengal, India. This aims to understand the use of ‘PM PMPOSHAN’ biomedicine in the midday meal of students under the National Education Policy 2020 & 2023 of India. It focuses on a "Project-Based Learning Gardening Eco-System for Nutrition, School Health, Nutritious Food Science and Technology, and well-being” through “Cultivating Innovation in Agriculture and Horticulture" on the school campus. Here, multiple plans, such as vegetables and fruit plants, are cultivated. The plants are amaranth, cucumber, cowpea, and okra, infected with root-knot and Mosaic Virus pathogens that cause plant diseases. After harvesting of these Cina-treated four plants, amaranth and cucumber received the maximum infection in terms of root galls and mosaic virus. The lowest infection occurs in okra. On the other hand, amaranth, okra, cowpea, and cucumber from the nutritional garden are used as biomedicines in the ‘Mid-Day Meal menu to measure the impact of the 'PM POSHAN Scheme and have various positive impacts, such as on growth, obesity, malnutrition, colds, cold and flu, and eye diseases. The use of Cina high-diluted (HD) ‘PM POSHAN’ biomedicines is prevalent in agro-homeopathy and presents an eco-friendly approach to agriculture. By diluting and succussing substances sequentially, these low-dose remedies stimulate the innate immune system of crops, inducing systemic resistance against viral, bacterial, and nematode pathogens. Research shows that these highly diluted extract preparations provide several key benefits: Disease Suppression, No Residual Toxicity, Improved Plant Vigor, and Pathogen-Derived "nosodes." This demonstrates that HD Cina ‘PM POSHAN’ biomedicine can be applied in agriculture and farming for high yields, healthy plant growth, soil water retention, and as a pesticide. Cina reduce incidence of root-knot disease, powdery mildew, and leaf spot like different disease causing plant pathogens. It will fulfill the 6th Edition of Global Conference on Agriculture and Horticulture (AGRI 2026) under the theme “Frontiers and Advances in Agriculture and Horticultural Science.” The conference attracts a diverse audience, including agricultural scientists, horticulturists, researchers, academicians, industry professionals, and policymakers, creating a vibrant community for sharing insights and advancing the field of agriculture and horticulture worldwide.
