Impact of effective micro-organisms (EM) on the yield, growth and bio-chemical properties of lettuce when applied to soil and leaves
It was determined that the microbial fertiliser used had no negative effect on the lettuce crop and even had an ameliorative effect. With the use of microbial fertiliser, both chemical fertilisation was reduced and higher yield and quality values were obtained from T3 and T<sub>7</sub> treatments compared to chemical treatment alone (T<sub>1</sub>). In addition, the ameliorative effects of the foliar application of microbial fertiliser were also noted in the T<sub>7</sub> treatment. As a result, this study showed that the use of microbial fertiliser could increase yield and quality and save at least 25% of fertiliser.
