C.M. Bonato ; A. Ferreira de Souza; M.A. Collet.
The objective of this experiment was to verify the applicability of some homoeopathic solutions in the rust control in the grape culture. Homeopathic solutions used were Silicea terra 30CH and isoterapic 6CH, 12CH and 30CH. Homeopathic treatments reduced the rust attack substantially when compared to the control (water). Homoeopathic solutions Silicea terra 30CH and isoterapic 6CH, 12CH and 30CH only presented 7, 17, 9 and 18% of the severity degree presented by the treatment controls (100%), respectively. The results suggest that the homoeopathic solutions can be an alternative viable and ecologically correct for the control of biotic factors that commit the productivity in the grape culture.
