Avaliação do crescimento de mudas de manjericão cultivadas em diferentes combinações de substratos tratados com complexo homeopático

Abstract

Homeopathy is a science that can be applied to any living being, including being effective in various plant cultures. The homeopathic medicine is obtained from any substance and has the efficacy of causing symptoms in a healthy individual and treating a sick individual with similar symptoms. The aim of this work was to evaluate the different combinations of substrates in the production of basilic seedlings treated with and without Homeopathic complex. The experimental design was completely randomized with 4 substrate combinations and soil control with and without application of the homeopathic complex, with 12 replicates. The treatments consisted of soil substrate combinations: bovine manure: plantmax in 2: 1: 1 proportions; 1: 1: 1; 1: 0.5: 0.5; 1: 0.25: 0.25 and soil with and without application of the homeopathic complex. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse on the UFRB campus. The seeds were planted in tubes filled with the respective evaluated treatments, in which 5 seeds were sown and soon after the emergence and glue of the seedlings the thinning was done leaving one plant per tube. The evaluated variables were height evaluated at 7 day intervals from the thinning and the phytotechnical parameters at 40 days after sowing, shoot length, root length, fresh shoot and root mass, total fresh mass, mass dry shoot and root, total dry mass and number of branches. Data were submitted to analysis of variance, regression and test of means by the Sisvar program. In the substrates evaluated, the variables CPA, CR, MFR, MFT, MRS, MSR independent of the application of the homeopathic complex were significant, however for the variables MFPA, MSPA, MST and NR, were significant both in the substrates and in the application of homeopathic complexes, of the basil seedlings. The 2: 1: 1 substrates with and without homeopathic complex and 1: 1: 1 without homeopathic complex were promising in the performance and production of basilic seedlings. The application of the homeopathic complex via the substrate was responsive to the basil cuttings either inhibiting, sometimes stimulating or causing no effect among the substrates.
