I have been using homeopathy for my livestock for 20 years, but I've just gotten started with homeopathy for plants.  We used it when someone hit one of our fir trees going 45mph, and resulted in a huge chunk of bark being torn away.  That tree has apparently recovered well from its ordeal, but they're so long lived the real test will be to see how well it continues to do over the passage of years. Not exactly the type of field trial to tell us how well something works.
 
I do have a single book on the topic but I haven't gone through it yet.  I plan to use this approach if/whenever I have disease issues in individual plants or plantings that I can't seem to trace back to more common issues (ie, nutrition, temperature, moisture, etc). For both plants and animals, we look first to the diet and environment to make sure that everything the organism needs is actually being provided.  A lot of times a correction there takes care of things.  Only after we've covered that base, and/or we already know the diet and environment are in good shape yet we have some acute issue, do we look for additional ways to treat incidents of disease.  I remember seeing some individual plants in the various greenhouse plantings last year that seemed to have "trouble" despite all their neighbors doing well, like the individual tomato seedlings which spontaneously just suddenly weakened and keeled over for no obvious reason.  I might experiment with that type of issue this year and see if I can figure out either a curative or preventative treatment.  In all that spare time I have laying around.  :)
