In the mean time, it has been discovered in many field tests that but few weeds will respond to this remedy, even in many repeated doses. The same can be said of Oxalic and Acetic acid and the article on Peruvic acid, till we have gathered more data, on several different potencies.

Therefore, the results do not match the expectations and this remedy should be excluded from following publications, except as a footnote with the inadequate results that have caused their withdrawal.

Citric acid can be bought in the hoimoeopathic pharmmacy.

At the top of the page is a description on how to use all the homoeopathic remedies for plants. Better is it to use Juglans nigra but always before planting the crop. Wait 48 hours before you plant.

Hi! Pls, how can I ‘Potentise’ the Citric acid. Also, kindly provide a practical guideline on these experiments, I’l like to try these out here in west africa and see the possibility!

Citric acid is not the best among the weed control remedies. There are many plants that have proven to be not affected, as my latest research shows.

So the demands of scientific investigation and negative results demand that I say it is not the best.

Much better is Juglone, Abies nigra and Abies canadensis, because even in nature these trees have proven their capacity for weed suppression. A recent experiment here in London at a housing estate showed that it is equal to or better at controlling weeds than conventional means, with the added bonus of being non-poisonous.

So even in the tropics, I would prefer those remedies above Citric acid.

Chickweed is killed in 48 hours by Phosphoric acid, as many tests have shown. I have not yet conducted enough tests to determine its viability on other weeds, but another trial is underway at the same housing estate in London, to ascertain its efficacy on other weeds.

Hi Doc! Pls elaborate on ‘potentized’ citric acid. Can this experiment work in the tropics, can it be economically viable? I’m interested in trying it out, pls advice!

You might give a try with Juglone or Juglans nigra, which is a seed inhibitor. If those plants are leafy, then the seeds will not germinate, while the grasses should have little problem with it. They are after all already established.

That said, Juglone may also inhibit the growth of the pasture grasses, but that is a risk you have to take into account. I have not used it on pasture before. Try out on a small plot first and if satisfactory, apply on broadacre.

Dear Dr Kaviraj, In Australia we have a major problem with pasture infestation with parthenium weed, this is being tackled with chemicals but think problem increasing not decreasing as plants are now flowering and seeding without any significant size- your thoughts please.
