Optimizing Fertilization in Compost-Based Lettuce Substrates

This study, conducted by Víctor Zambelli at Universidad de Morón's School of Engineering and Informatics, analyzes the effects of fertilizer doses on compost substrates used for lettuce (Lactuca sativa) seedlings. Research at INTA Floriculture Institute evaluated growth and substrate chemistry using peat-compost blends. Key findings reveal that higher fertilizer doses optimize plant growth and substrate properties, with the best treatment consisting of 100% FB + 100 ppm FP. Conclusions...
