Crescimento inicial de plantas de manjericão (Ocimum basilicum L.) cultivados em diferentes combinações de substratos tratados com complexo homeopático

Abstract

The insertion of homeopathy in agriculture has been consolidated over the years, as social technology, taking into account that homeopathy has low cost, is easy to access and simple use by farmers, being inserted as an alternative model of agricultural practice, making feasible the natural balance resulting from the coherent principles of nature. The aim of this work was to evaluate the initial growth of basil grown in different combinations of substrates treated with glycerinated and sucrose based homeopathic complexes. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse, the design was completely randomized with 2 treatments, 20 replicates, 160 sample units, consisting of 4 proportions of substrates: 2: 1: 1; 1: 1: 1; 1: 0.5: 0.5; 1: 0.25: 0.25 with homoeopathic complex and without complex for both glycerin and sucrose application. The substrates were composed of soil, tanned bovine manure, vermiculite. The complex was elaborated by the Dozes Schussler salts, Calcarea carbonica 5 CH, Carbo vegetabilis 5CH, Sulfur 5CH, Silicea 5 CH. For the preparation of the aqueous solution of the glycerinated complex, 2 mL of each separate homeopathy were used, totaling 10 mL were diluted in Becker, with a capacity of 2L, containing 190 mL of glycerine solution and homogenized. In the aqueous glycerol solution without the homeopathic complex was obtained from 100 mL of distilled water and 100 mL of glycerin, which after homogenization were diluted in 1800 mL of distilled water totalizing 2L of glycerol solution. In the aqueous solution of sucrose with the complex was used 20 g of sucrose diluted in 10 ml of the chosen homeopathies. Soon after, in a Becker with capacity of 2L was diluted in distilled water. In the preparation of the aqueous solution with sucrose without the homeopathic complex used 20g of sucrose diluted in 2L of distilled water. The basil plants were evaluated the agronomic variables at 40 days after planting. The homeopathic complex linked in sucrose promoted better performance in the initial growth of basil plants when compared to the glycerinated homeopathic complex. From the different combinations of substrates the ratio 2: 1: 1 followed by 1: 1: 1 were the most efficient in the initial growth response of basil plants in both the glycerin solution and sucrose.
