homeopathy; ABIO; organic production; phytosanitary survey
Still a science not widely known, homeopathy has also been studied through its applications in agriculture and livestock, and its use is permitted by law in organic production systems. What one has of specific knowledge on the subject, is dispersed and not so accessible to the rural producers, especially in the State of Rio de Janeiro. In this sense, the present study had as objective to identify the crops produced in the scope of the farmers associated to ABIO - Association of Organic Farmers of the State of Rio de Janeiro, as well as to raise their respective phytosanitary problems and propose possible solutions through the use of homeopathy and ultra-diluted preparations. The survey was conducted through the analysis of the Organic Management Plans, using only the plant production scopes, totaling 315 Organic Management Plan. Through the informed municipalities, mapping was done with the main cultures and imbalances found, as well as a proposal with the forms of control found in the literature. Other transversal actions have been implemented since the beginning of the project, such as practical workshops within the SPG ABIO groups and also a Seminar on Homeopathy in Agroecological Farm 47 km in Seropédica-RJ. It will be elaborated and published didactic material in the form of booklet with the results of the survey and the homeopathic proposals found in the literature, in order to provide to the producers another source of information with accessible language.
