ABSTRACT: Trichoderma sp. is a fungus belonging soil microflora, being one of the most researched nowadays as a biological control agent. The search for more effective biological controls has been growing in the world and stimuli for the development of fungi in the environment more competitive, homeopathy has been used seeking direct effect on pathogens, however has been observed that some dynamizations has stimulated the development of these organisms. In this context this study aims to evaluate the mycelial growth and sporulation of Trichoderma sp. Sulphur in using dynamizations 6CH, 12CH, 24CH, 48CH and witnesses hydroalcoholic solution and distilled water, using BDA as substrate in a controlled environment, BOD with a photoperiod of 12 hours with temperature 25oC. The evaluations were performed daily and the data tested for average second Tukey test at 5% with the program Sisvar 5.0. The results show significant effects on mycelial growth highlighting the dynamic 6CH 24 hours, only 48 hours 48 CH did not differ from all other witnesses sit higher potencies in mycelial growth, only 72 hours treatment 24CH differed when compared with the witnesses.
Keywords: Homeopathic, induction of sporulation.
