Abstract

Homeopathy is a science that can be applied to any living organism. It consists of dynamization
and potentialization practices for the cure of the patient, widely accepted by agroecological
producers. The experiment was conducted at the Experimental Farm of the Ressacada of
UFSC, in Florianópolis, SC. The experimental design was a randomized block design (DBC)
comprising five treatments: homeopathic limestone preparation, homeopathic soil preparation,
Calcarea phosphoric, Phosphorus and Witness (water). There was no increase in soil pH with
the use of homeopathies. There was an increase in organic matter in the soil with the application
of homeopathic preparations. The homeopathic Limestone preparation apparent provided
a 195% increase in phosphorus to soil. Phosphorus allowed the reduction of the total acidity
of the soil. The use of the homeopathic preparations associated to the planting of the green
manure was efficient in the restructuring of the mineral components of the soil.
