Agnihotra-A Holistic Energy System Affecting Plant Growth-2: Possible Role of Phytohormones-Studies on Some Common Household Plants

Abstract

The present study done as a sequel to the previous one that assessed the effect of Agnihotra vapour on some common household plants, has again confirmed the results of previous research. Some new plants were also included in the experiments for reaffirmation of the assessment.  The results have shown conformity to the previous study.

In the new study, only the polished grain vapour was used. It was observed that most plants responded by tremendous leaf proliferation where the new branches were produced in axils of each and every old leaf. Lateral bud initiation seems to be main effect of the vapour.

 A rose plant kept in the atmosphere of Agnihotra showed that a  new branch had grown from the side at the bottom of the plant, and this new branch produced became equal in height to the older branches in 3 days time ( cell elongation) and went on to produce buds.

 Some plants responded by showing increased senescence giving way to the reproductive structures. The experiment designed with bottled money plants kept in the Agnihotra atmosphere responded by producing new leaves and roots while control plant s kept in the same light and air conditions had shown no new growth. The paper offers a scientific background for Agnihotra’s effect on plants.
