Crescimento de plantas de coentro tratadas com dinamizações centesimais de Phosphorus e Sulphur

Abstract

The use of homeopathy in agriculture is recognized and applied in several cultures, using for it several homeopathic medicines and different dynamizations. The objective of this work was to evaluate the growth of coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) plants treated with two centesimal dynamizations (6 and 30CH) of Phosphorus and Sulphur homeopathic medicinal products. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse at the Center for Agricultural, Environmental and Biological Sciences (CCAAB), at the campus of the Federal University of Recôncavo da Bahia, in the city of Cruz das Almas / BA, in the period of 34 days. The experimental design was the completely randomized with 7 treatments and 6 replicates, totaling 42 experimental units. The treatments were composed of Phosphorus and Sulfur in the 6CH and 30CH dynamizations (centesimal hahnemaniana) and as control 70% alcohol with 6CH and 30CH dynamizations and water. For the application of the treatments with homeopathy, a solution containing 1 mL of the diluted medicament was prepared and homogenized in 1000 mL of water, with 50 mL being poured into each plot from the sowing and three times a week for 34 days. It can be inferred that the treatment Sulfur 6CH caused the characteristics of the aerial part of the coriander plants to have better commercial characteristics, because the treated plants were higher, with more leaves, larger leaves, and more tender (MFPA larger) and with more dry mass. The homeopathic medicine Sulfur 6CH caused an increase in the growth of coriander plants compared to the controls (dynamized alcohol and water). Sulfur 6CH has potential for use to stimulate growth of coriander culture.
