EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT FERTILIZERS AND SUBSTRATES ON THE LEAF DEVELOPMENT OF LACTUCA SATIVA IN HYDROPONIC CULTURE

This study investigates the influence of various fertilizers and substrates on the leaf development of Lactuca sativa (lettuce) grown under hydroponic conditions. A comparative analysis was conducted using four substrates (vermiculite, perlite, coco coir, and rockwool) and six fertilizer treatments: mineral salts, humic acid, humic acid + mineral salts, microalgae, microalgae + mineral salts. The results indicate significant variations in leaf number depending on the combination of substrate and fertilizer, with rockwool and microalgae + mineral salts showing the highest efficacy.
