Growth of radish plants treated with dynamizations of Sulphur, Carbo vegetabilis e Calcarea carbonica

Abstract

Homeopathy shows itself as viable technology to provide better living conditions for the producer and the consumer. This is because it uses minimal and energized doses of the substances, avoiding intoxication and pollution. The aim in this work was to evaluate the growth of radish treated with Carbo vegetabilis and Calcarea carbonica in the 6 and 30 CH dynamizations and Sulphur in the 6 CH, and for the controls 70% ethanol in the 6 and 30 CH dynamizations and water. The experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design, with 8 treatments and 5 replicates. The plants were grown in a greenhouse, being harvested and evaluated 30 days after sowing. The 6 CH dynamics of Calcarea carbonica and Carbo vegetabilis caused lower plant growth compared to 30 CH and the controls, indicating that the radish could be more responsive to the lower dynamics of these homeopathies. Alcohol 30CH as a control indicates not to be adequate.
