The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of high dilution preparations on seedlings growth and production of broccoli under organic system. Three experiments were conducted in a greenhouse with completely randomized design. Two others experiments were conducted under field conditions, and the experimental design was randomized in blocks. Both designs were done with four replications and nine treatments. The treatments consisted of high dilution preparations of Arnica montana, Silicea terra, Carbo vegetabilis and Sulphur at 6CH or 30CH, water was used as control. In greenhouse, plant height, root length and stem diameter of seedlings were evaluated, along with the fresh and dry mass of shoot and root. In field, fresh and dry mass of inflorescences, plant heigh and stem diameter were evaluated. Silicea terra at 30CH increased the stem diameter, root length and dry mass of shoot and root in the broccoli seedlings. Sulphur at 6CH increased the fresh and dry mass of broccoli inflorescences. Silicea terra at 6CH, Carbo vegetabilis, and Sulphur at 30CH increased the plant height in field experiments. This suggests that high dilution preparations can be utilized to increase the biomass production and others desirable characteristics of broccoli crop under organic system.

El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la influencia de preparados en altas diluciones en el crecimiento de plántulas y producción de brócoli en sistema orgánico. Fueron realizados tres experimentos en diseño completamente al azar (invernadero) y dos experimentos en diseño de bloques completos al azar (campo), todos con cuatro repeticiones y nueve tratamientos. Los tratamientos fueron preparados de Arnica montana, Silicea terra, Carbo vegetabilis y Sulphur en 6CH o 30CH, como testigo fue utilizado agua. En invernadero fueron evaluadas: altura de planta, longitud de raíz, diámetro de tallo, masa fresca y seca de la parte aérea y de la raíz. En campo fueron evaluadas: masa fresca y seca de inflorescencias, altura de plantas y diámetro de tallo. Silicea terra 30CH aumentó en las plántulas el diámetro de tallo, longitud de raíz, masa seca de la parte aérea y de la raíz. Sulphur 6CH incrementó masa fresca y seca de las inflorescencias. Silicea terra 6CH, Carbo vegetabilis 30CH y Sulphur 30CH aumentaron la altura de las plantas en experimentos de campo. Esto sugiere que preparados en altas diluciones pueden ser utilizados para aumentar la producción de biomasa y otras características deseables en el cultivo orgánico del brócoli.
