Germinação e vigor de sementes de tomate cereja sadias, envelhecidas e de mudas tratadas com Carbo vegetabilis e Calcarea fluorica

Abstract

The use of homeopathy in agriculture has potential effects on the application of the similarity of the Law as the trial in healthy beings, validating the principles of homeopathy and promoting the homeostasis of living organisms in production systems. Homeopathy Application in healthy and aged seed germination has been highlighted in effect seed germination and rapid development of seedlings under different environmental conditions and accelerated aging test has contributed in changing the physiological behavior and development of the embryo. The aim of the study was to evaluate the germination and vigor of healthy aging and tomato seeds treated with Carbo vegetbilis and Calcarea fluorica in dynamizations 6 and 30 CH. The experiment was divided into three distinct experimental tests: germination test in healthy and artificially aged seeds, the emergence and early development of plants in the field, treated with homeopathic remedies. The experiment was in a randomized completely with 4 treatments, which, Carbo vegetabilis and Calcarea fluorica in dynamizations 6 and 30 CH and ethanol control 70% in 4 repetitions. The Carolina tomato seeds (cherry type) were submitted to the germination test in BOD chamber, carried out according to the Seed Analysis Rule. And the accelerated aging test according to methods adapted by Jianhua and McDonald (1997). The characteristics evaluated in the germination tests were carried out at the end of 14 days the following variables were evaluated:% of germinated seeds not germinated, normal, abnormal, shoot length, root length, seedling length, fresh weight and dry biomass. The experimental trial conducted in the field were evaluated at the end of 52 days; the following parameters:% of germinated seeds not germinated, emergency speed index, shoot length, root length, plant length, fresh and dry biomass of the aerial part, root and total. The Carbo vegetabilis and Calcarea fluorica drugs accounted different potencies now encouraging either inhibiting germination and vigor of healthy and aged seeds. The Carbo vegetabilis and Calcarea fluorica stimulated the number of abnormal plants and inhibit biomass in healthy seedlings, however Carbo vegetabilis and Calcarea fluorica in boosting 6 CH were able to reverse the process in aging plants, inhibiting the number of abnormal plants and stimulating seed vigor by increasing the length of seedlings and biomass. In the field, the healthy seeds treated with Calcarea fluorica presented more regular results, stimulating the vegetative growth of tomato plants.
