Queiroz RL, Rosa ESMD, Marques M, Goulart VA, Marques GF

Abstract
The seed pelleting has been characterized as an important way of maximizing the seedlings production costs because of lower labor and manpower manual seed distribution, while reducing the practice of surplus plants thinning. However, the commercial interest in seed encapsulation advanced after mechanized seeding, tillage practice and especially the possibility of inclusion of nutrients, growth regulators and pesticides application as a way to provide improvements in the health of plants. In this sense, the objective was to evaluate the production of lettuce seedlings (Lactuca sativa L. cv. Grand Rapids) arising from pelleted seeds with homeopathic preparations submitted homeopathy coverage Phosphorus 30CH. The results show that the use of Sulphur 6CH homeopathy and Nux 6CH are able to provide healthy and vigorous seedlings when compared to the control.
