Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of homeopathic medicines in the neutralization of waste herbicide 2,4-D+picloram in cucumber seeds, in the municipality of Alta Floresta-MT process. The experiment was carried out to evaluate two herbicide concentrations and five Nux vomica dynamizations (6CH, 12CH, 18CH, 24CH and 30CH), in addition to two controls, one with distilled water and the other contaminated with herbicide alone. The variables assessed were germination percentage, germination speed index, fresh weight, dry weight, shoot length, root length and stem thickness, where we observed a significant difference in most of the variables analyzed. From the results, it can be concluded that the homeopathic preparations in five dynamics of Nux vomica (6CH, 12CH, 18CH, 24CH and 30CH), act positively on vigor and development of cucumber seeds.
Highlights
The use of increasingly simplified cultivation techniques coupled with continuous growth with large areas of monoculture resulted in negative impacts for several sectors
Based on analogies made with homeopathic medicine, the objective of this research was to evaluate the homeopathic potential of Nux vomica in the process of neutralizing the residual effect of the 2,4-D+picloram herbicide on cucumber seeds
The experiment consisted of the study of the germination of organic cucumber seeds on substrate moistened with ultra-dilute doses with herbicide 2,4-D+picloram, belonging to the chemical group of syntetic auxin
Summary
The use of increasingly simplified cultivation techniques coupled with continuous growth with large areas of monoculture resulted in negative impacts for several sectors This simplification leads to ecological imbalance, the disruption of food chains, the artificialization of production areas, and a permanent and growing need for external subsidies, such as agrochemicals and fertilizers (Andrade & Casali, 2011). It is a chemical compound synthesized with a growth regulator characteristic due to its structural similarity to the natural auxin of plants (Santos et al, 2013) It is widely used in the control of spontaneous plants in plantations, interfering in the growth of annual broadleaf plants and some perennials (Felito et al, 2019). This product is characterized by causing various metabolic disturbances in sensitive plants, such as abnormal growth, root tissue death, epine- sis and phloem obstruction (Rodrigues & Almeida, 2018)
