| Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, the causal agent of white mold, is a polyphagous pathogen with a large number of plant hosts, and that can survival for many years in the soil. Alternative methods are necessary to its control, such as homeopathy. This work aimed to verify the antimicrobial activity of homeopathic drugs against S. sclerotiorum. Two assays were conducted: the first one using Nosode of S. sclerotiorum, and the second with Sulphur, both at 0, 6, 12, 24, 36 and 48 CH (hahnemanian centesimal dilution), and distillated water as control treatment. The dilution 0 CH was the hydro alcoholic solution with ethanol 30%. The number of sclerotia and the mycelial growth were evaluated in vitro. None of the drugs reduced the mycelial growth of S. sclerotiorum,... |
