Comportamiento agronómico de dos variedades de lechuga (Lactuca sativa L.) con diferentes dosis de solución nutritiva, bajo hidroponía

Abstract

Hydroponics is a technique that allows to produce plants without the use of soil, and is considered an alternative method in horticultural production since it has proven to be a feasible option to avoid the inconvenience with soil erosion caused by inadequate agriculture and the use of chemicals. The research aimed to evaluate the agronomic behavior of two varieties of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) var. Crespa and var. Capitata with different doses of nutrient solution, under a hydroponic nutrient film system (NFT). A completely random design with bifactorial arrangement (2X4) was used, studying two varieties of lettuce (Crespa and Capitata) for four doses of nutritional solution (DS 1: 1.0 ml/L, DS 2: 1.5 ml/L, DS 3: 2.0 ml/L, DS 4: 2.5 ml/L), totaling 8 treatments.
