The physico-chemical properties of irrigation water, as well as of aqueous solutions have recently become a topic of study and attracted the attention of scientists. The main reason is to make quality water available for crops and to understand the mechanisms of action of homeopathic preparations. This work aimed to evaluate the effect of homeopathic preparations on the physico-chemical properties of water originated from three sources. The experiment was developed at the Laboratory of Homeopathy of the Department of Plant Science of the UFV, and was arranged in a randomized block design, with four repetitions (experiments 1- 6) or six repetitions (experiment 7). The treatments of experiments 1-6 consisted of the homeopathies Calcarea carbonica, Calcarea sulphurica, Calcareaphosphorica, Carbo vegetabilis, Natrum muriaticum, Natrumcarbonicum, Natrum sulphuricum, Pyrogenium, and Sulphur and of the homeopathic preparations distilled water, mine water, and lake water, with the controls distilled water, mine water and lake water. The dynamics applied in experiments 1- 6 was 7CH. The experiment 7 treatments consisted of homeopathy Natrum muriaticum at dynamizations 1CH, 3CH, 5CH, 7CH, 12CH and 30CH and the homeopathic ix preparations salinized distilled water and 70% alcohol at dynamizations 7CH and the control salinized distilled water. Two drops of the treatment were applied every 24 h in glass recipients containing 80 mL water. The variable data were obtained after application of the treatments; pH, electric conductivity, and turgidity were measured, respectively, by the equipments: counter pHmeter (DM 23 model), conductivimeter (DM 32 model) and portable turgid meter (DM TU model). At the end of the measurements, the data were submitted to variance analysis and the means compared with the control by the Dunnett test, at 5% probability. The homeopathies caused alterations in the physico-chemical properties of water. A differentiated action of the several dynamizations was verified. Some homeopathic preparations promoted rather perceptive, markedly individual responses, making evident the principle of specificity of action.
