Crescimento de plantas de rabanete (Raphanus sativus L) submetidas a dinamizações centesimais de Cuprum metallicum e a água biomagnetizada

Abstract

Homeopathy is a science that can be used in any living being. The homeopathic medicine is obtained from any substance and has the capacity to provoke symptoms in a healthy individual and to treat a sick individual with similar symptoms. Many farmers have sought alternative methods to reduce or extinguish the use of pesticides in their crops, and homeopathy is one of those methods being used. The "biomagnetized" water by the therapeutic touch is a new alternative that has been investigated to be used in plants, also aiming to reduce the impact with the use of pesticides in the environment, and consists in the water treatment through the imposition of hands by the Krieger method -Kunz. "The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of 3CH, 12CH, 30CH and 60CH centesimal dynamics of Cuprum metallicum homeopathy and biomagnetised water by the therapeutic touch on radish (Raphanus sativus L.) growth. Two experiments were carried out, with homeopathic and control treatments (70% alcohol and water) and the second one, biomagnetised water by the therapeutic touch and the control (water). The treatments were applied twice a week for 30 days. At the end of the experiment, the variables of length and width of the largest leaf, fresh shoot mass, root and total mass, shoot dry weight, root and total mass, specific leaf mass, root / shoot ratio were evaluated. In relation to homeopathy, the dynamizations influenced the variable length of the aerial part and dry mass of the aerial part. The radish plants treated with biomagnetic water, in the variables analyzed, did not change their growth. The Cuprum metallicum dinamisations used had little influence on radish growth, being perceived only in the aerial part. Under the conditions of this experiment the biomagnetized water had no effect on the growth of radish plants.
