Fertigating lettuce (Lactuca sativa L..) using compost tea

Résumé

Crop nutrient management is an essential component of productivity and quality. Commercial horticulture relies almost exclusively on inorganic nutrient sources to meet the nutritional needs of plants. Compost tea is a sustainable alternative technology, but its use has not been thoroughly researched. A factor experiment was conducted by subjecting lettuce plants to four increasing concentrations of compost tea. The concentration of compost tea significantly affected all growth indices showing a similar pattern. Compost tea used at appropriate concentrations improved root growth and lettuce productivity.
