ABSTRACT: The aim this experiment was to evaluate the effect of the homeopathic drug Bryonia alba on the physiological variables of germination and initial growth of oybean seedlings. The germination test was conducted at 25 ± 2 º C. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with 7 treatments and 4 replications. The control consisted of distilled water. Germination percentage was influenced by homeopathy, however, the dinamization 6DH reduced hypocotyl length. The dinamizations 12, 18 and 24DH increased the primary root length. There was a reduction in seedling dry weight at the dynamizations 6, 9,18 and 24DH. The results demonstrate that there is no linear dose-response behavior. The conclusion is that each dynamization of B. alba behave as a drug was a different drug.
