Sustainable Technologies in the Initial Development of Bean Seedlings (Phaseolus vulgaris)

Abstract

In Brazil, beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are considered one of the main components of the diet, being the main source of vegetable protein. The objective of this work was to evaluate the initial performance and vigor of bean seedlings (Phaseolus vulgaris), submitted to the homeopathic medicines Arsenicum album and Antimonium crudum 15 CH and 201 CH and also to the supermagro biofertilizer 5% and 10% of dilution. The germination test, using Germitest paper sheets as substrate. The works were set up with a completely randomized design, with four replications per treatment. Statistical analyzes were performed using the Sisvar program, where normality was first performed using the Shapirowilk test and then submitted to analysis of variance and the means were compared using the Tukey test (p<0.05). Seeds treated with the homeopathic medicine Antimonium crudum 201 CH showed bean seedlings with greater length in the aerial part, indicating a beneficial effect, while seeds treated with Arsenicum album 15CH showed a lower percentage of abnormal bean seedlings, suggesting an adverse effect at this concentration. Already the seeds treated with the supermagro 5% biofertilizer had an increase in the green mass of bean seedlings.
