Evaluación del desarrollo y rendimiento de tres variedades de lechuga (Lactuca sativa L.) bajo dos sistemas hidropónicos

Abstract

HYDROPONICS IS AN AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION TECHNIQUE IN WHICH IT IS GROWN WITHOUT SOIL AND WHERE NUTRIENTS ARE DELIVERED IN A LIQUID SOLUTION. THIS TECHNIQUE OFFERS NEW ADVANTAGES OVER TRADITIONAL CROPS, WHICH REDUCES COSTS BY SAVING OPERATIONS, SPACE AND PROVIDES A BETTER QUALITY OF PRODUCTS WITHOUT WEARING THE SOIL. THE RESEARCH AIMED TO EVALUATE THE DEVELOPMENT AND YIELD OF THREE VARIETIES OF LETTUCE (LACTUCA SATIVA L.) VAR. CRESPA, VAR. CAPTAIN, VAR REGINA 500, UNDER TWO HYDROPONIC SYSTEMS. IN WHICH A COMPLETELY RANDOM EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN (DCA) WITH BIFACTORIAL ARRANGEMENT (3X2) WAS USED, TOTALING 6 TREATMENTS WITH 4 REPETITIONS, THE FACTORS IN STUDY WERE COMPOSED BY FACTOR A CORRESPONDING TO THE VARIETIES CRESPA (V1), REGINA 500 (V2) AND CAPITATA (V3), THE FACTOR B CONSTITUTED BY TECHNIQUE 1 (NFT) NUTRIENT FILM TECHNICAL HYDROPONIC SYSTEM AND TECHNIQUE 2 (DWC) FLOATING ROOT HYDROPONIC SYSTEM.
