Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of homeopathic medicines in the neutralization of waste
herbicide 2,4-D+picloram in cucumber seeds, in the municipality of Alta Floresta-MT process. The experiment
was carried out to evaluate two herbicide concentrations and five Nux vomica dynamizations (6CH, 12CH, 18CH,
24CH and 30CH), in addition to two controls, one with distilled water and the other contaminated with herbicide
alone. The variables assessed were germination percentage, germination speed index, fresh weight, dry weight,
shoot length, root length and stem thickness, where we observed a significant difference in most of the variables
analyzed. From the results, it can be concluded that the homeopathic preparations in five dynamics of Nux
vomica (6CH, 12CH, 18CH, 24CH and 30CH), act positively on vigor and development of cucumber seeds.
