ABSTRACT: Homeopathic high dilution is a therapeutic process that may uses a matrix basic on biological origin or chemistry, natural and synthetic products. The potential application in agriculture come out the mid-'20s that was suggested that the effect could follow such regularity by understanding agronomic models. The aim of this study was to verify the germination and development of bean plants by applying eight different high dilution of Arsenicum album. The experiment was conducted in the laboratory and greenhouse of the University of Southern Santa Catarina-UNISUL, Campus da Pedra Branca, Florianópolis. The bean seeds were soaked into homeopathic high dilution and water during 12 hours and then sown in containers and earth worm humus. The following centesimal hahnemanian dilutions (CH) were applied: 2, 6, 10, 14, 20, 30, 200 and 1000CH. Homeopathic high dilution preparations were obtained from two pharmacies, A and B, compared with the control drinking water and reverse osmosis water. For each treatment, 50 seeds were sown and at evaluation stage was chosen 16 plants with better development. During the period of the experiment temperature and relative humidity were monitored. Resistivity tests were made for the various CH and the water. The results showed that 20 and 30 CH, from the pharmacy A was higher than other CHs, including in relation to all pharmacy B CHs, where 10CH outperformed other CHs. There was also a significant difference between the results of the manipulations pharmacy A and B, concerning bean germination.
