EFFECT OF HOMEOPATHIC Phosphorus ON UPTAKE AND BIOMETRIC VARIABLES IN SORGHUM

GF Donato, RM Marques, B Reis, CM Bonato

ABSTRACT: The aim of this work was to study the effect of homeopathic Phosphorus
on kinetics uptake of phosphorus and on biometric variables in sorghum. Sorghum
plants were grown in nutrient solution under sufficient-phosphorus in the presence of
Phosphorus dynamizations (6, 12, 24 and 30 CH). After 30 days we studied the uptake
kinetics of phosphorous (H2PO4-). At the end of the experiment biometric variables
were determined. Dynamizations 24 and 30CH increased the fresh weight of shoots.
Dynamizations 6, 24 and 30 CH increased total dry and fresh weight and dry mass of
the root system. Phosphorus accumulation in sorghum root in relation to dynamizations
were complex. However, the dynamization 12CH showed higher accumulation of
phosphorus in relation to other homeopathic dinamizations, although, it had showed the
lowest biomass accumulation. Thus, it is concluded that the dynamization of
Phosphorus were generally more efficient at accumulating dry matter. It is suggested
that, in general, the homeopathic medicine Phosphorus may have improved efficiency
use of phosphorus because the same concentration of absorbed phosphorus the plants
increased the total biomass.
Keywords: Uptake, produtivity, phosphorus kinetic.
