ÍNDICE DE VELOCIDADE DE EMERGÊNCIA DE SEMENTES DE FEIJÃO PRETO (PHASEOLUS VULGARIS) TRATADAS COM TOQUE QUÂNTICO.

Introduction: the literature has described solid evidence that handimposing biofields have clinical efficacy in the treatment of several diseases. Seed germination testing has been an indicated method in investigating the physiological effect of hand imposing biofields because it enables both the suppression of the placebo effect and the scrupulous control of experimental conditions. Objective: the purpose of this study was to determine the speed of emergenceindex (SEI) of bean seeds (Phaseolus vulgaris) treated with quantum touch biofield therapy. Method: the sample of 96 bean seeds was distributed equitably in two groups: Experimental (with quantum touch treatment for 10 minutes before sowing on dark-red latosol substrate) and Control (without treatment before sowing on darkred latosol substrate). Results: the results indicated that there was no significant difference between the SEI of the seeds of the Experimental and Control groups. Conclusion: In the present conditions, the quantum touch biofield therapy had no physiological effect on the speed of emergence of bean seeds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
