REPEATABILITY OF CO2 ASSIMILATION DATA IN PLANTS OF SPHAGNETICOLA TRILOBATA TREATED WITH APIS MELLIFICA 6CH
Batirola da Silva, Mara Rosane; Batirola da Silva, Rosmeri Ter ezinha Casali, Vicente Wagner Dias
Homeopathic solutions may increase or decrease photosynthesis rate of Sphagneticola
trilobata plants. Data variability of homeopathic experiments is a concern today and
increasing results recording has been an expensive decision. CO2 assimilation of three
replicates of cloned plants along 20 consecutive minutes was quantified through the Infra Red
Gas Analyzer (IRGA) after application of Apis melifica 6CH and distiled water (control).
Plants were cloned to avoid genetic variability effect. Repetibility analysis was performed
through GENES program after variance analysis. Repetibility coefficient of CO2 results was
99% meaning that the differences between control and treated plants results were kept along
20 determinations. There was no need of 20 determinations to define photosynthesis pattern
of treated plants because only six recordings would do it. Stability results of CO2 assimilation
were greater in plants treated with Apis melifica as compared to control.
