Homeopathy. 2009 Oct;98(4):244-66. doi: 10.1016/j.homp.2009.09.008.
The literature on the applications of homeopathy for controlling plant diseases in both plant pathological models and field trials was first reviewed by Scofield in 1984. No other review on homeopathy in plant pathology has been published since, though much new research has subsequently been carried out using more advanced methods.
To conduct an up-to-date review of the existing literature on basic research in homeopathy using phytopathological models and experiments in the field.
A literature search was carried out on publications from 1969 to 2009, for papers that reported experiments on homeopathy using phytopathological models (in vitro and in planta) and field trials. The selected papers were summarized and analysed on the basis of a Manuscript Information Score (MIS) to identify those that provided sufficient information for proper interpretation (MIS>or=5). These were then evaluated using a Study Methods Evaluation Procedure (SMEP).
A total of 44 publications on phytopathological models were identified: 19 papers with statistics, 6 studies with MIS>or=5. Publications on field were 9, 6 with MIS>or=5. In general, significant and reproducible effects with decimal and centesimal potencies were found, including dilution levels beyond the Avogadro's number.
The prospects for homeopathic treatments in agriculture are promising, but much more experimentation is needed, especially at a field level, and on potentisation techniques, effective potency levels and conditions for reproducibility. Phytopathological models may also develop into useful tools to answer pharmaceutical questions.
1984年斯科菲尔德首次对顺势疗法在植物病理模型和田间试验中控制植物病害应用方面的文献进行了综述。自那以后，虽然随后使用更先进的方法开展了大量新研究，但尚未发表其他关于顺势疗法在植物病理学方面的综述。
对使用植物病理模型和田间试验进行的顺势疗法基础研究的现有文献进行最新综述。
对1969年至2009年期间发表的论文进行文献检索，查找那些报道了使用植物病理模型（体外和体内）和田间试验进行顺势疗法实验的论文。根据稿件信息评分（MIS）对所选论文进行总结和分析，以确定那些提供了足够信息以便进行合理解释的论文（MIS≥5）。然后使用研究方法评估程序（SMEP）对这些论文进行评估。
共确定了44篇关于植物病理模型的出版物：19篇有统计数据，6项研究的MIS≥5。关于田间试验的出版物有9篇，6篇的MIS≥5。总体而言，发现使用十进位和百进位药力时具有显著且可重复的效果，包括超过阿伏伽德罗常数的稀释水平。
顺势疗法在农业中的应用前景广阔，但还需要进行更多实验，尤其是在田间层面，以及关于药力增强技术、有效药力水平和可重复性条件的实验。植物病理模型也可能发展成为回答药学问题的有用工具。
