Effect of the homeopathic solution <em>Sulphur</em> on the growth and productivity of radish

Abstract

The aim of this work was to analyze the effect of the homeopathic solution Sulphur on some radish growth variables. Five dinamizations of Sulphur were used (5 CH, 12 CH, 30 CH, 200 CH and 1 MCH) on a centesimal scale. Treatments were carried out in vases outdoors and the homeopathic solution was applied weekly. The fresh and dry matter mass of the shoot and the root system, the average length of the root system, the average plant length, the length of the largest leaf and the root diameter were analyzed. The application of Sulphur improved the general conditions of the plants in practically all the studied variables, when compared with a control. The dinamizations 5 CH, 12 CH, 30 CH and 1 MCH showed better responses. The control and the dinamization 200 CH were the treatments that presented the most negative results. The results suggest that the homeopathy Sulphur can be an alternative to improve the productivity and appearance of commercial agricultural products, with substantial reduction in agricultural input.
