HOMEOPATHY IN ORGANIC CHIVE CULTIVATION: DIFFERENT CONCENTRATIONS OF NOSODE OF COLLETOTRICHUM SPP

Abstract

Anthracnose is a fungal disease that affects several crops, including chives, and can cause losses of up to 100% of production in some regions. And in organic agriculture there is a growing search for alternative controls that enable the consumption of safe food. In this context, the objective of this work focused on verifying the influence of different nosode dilutions on the control of anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum spp., in organically grown chives. The delimitation adopted was randomized blocks. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse on a property that has used an organic system since 2008. The chive plants of the “every year” cultivar received nosode sprays at strengths of 6CH, 12CH, 18CH, 24CH, 30CH and purified water as a control, twice a week, for 10 weeks. The active input of the nosodes were leaves with symptoms of the disease. All medicines applied were prepared on the property of the experimental area. The results indicated inefficiency of nosodes of Colletotrichum spp. in the control of anthracnose and yield in chives in organic production.
