Conteúdo: 	The leaf cutting ants Atta and Acromyrmex are important opportunistic
insects in agroecosystems that may become seasonal pest to damage crops. Chemicals
are frequently applied to avoid loss production. The aim of this study was to evaluate
the effect of homeopathic preparations on foraging activities of leaf cutting ants of Atta
and Acromyrmex genus. The treatments were applied during 10 days by spraying
homeopathic preparations at the thirtieth centesimal Hahnemamiann order (30CH)
directly on the ant?s carrier in the field. The tincture mother was prepared by the
triturated and macerated methods of individuals ants of Atta, Acromyrmex and a portion
of symbiotic fungus Leucoagaricus gongylophorus. The Belladonna homeopathy was
also used as one treatment. The experimental design was in completely randomized
model with 5 replicates. Assessments of the number of ants in activities were held
before each of the 10 applications, and 20 days after the last application, by counting
ants carrying plant tissue. The homeopathic preparation of triturated ants was the most
efficient in reducing ants foraging, followed by macerate ant preparation individuals
and the homeopathy Belladonna, standing out clearly from the control without
intervention.
