Evaluation of the physiological quality of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L., var. Longifolia) grown using silvoagroaquaculture waste

Soil acidity poses a challenge to crop production by limiting the availability of nutrients for plants. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of a natural waste-based fertilizer composed of Mytilus chilensis seashells, coffee bean wastes, banana peels, and wood ashes on lettuce growth and physiological quality. The seashells were used with organic matter (W-OM), without organic matter (Wo-OM), and a mixture of equal parts of W-OM and Wo-OM (50:50). The coffee bean wastes, banana peels, and wood ashes were used as ingredients. The soil pH, chlorophyll index in the lettuce leaves, and nitrogen level (in the soil and leaf) were measured for a period of 66 days. Vitamin C content in the harvested leaves was measured. The W-OM fertilizer allowed for an increase the soil pH from less than 6.5 to 7.0±0.5. The nitrogen provided by the coffee bean waste was partially available to the plant root, which decreased the chlorophyll index in the lettuce leaves. The studied fertilizer (W-OM, Wo-OM, and 50:50) allowed to increase of vitamin C content in the lettuce leaves. In conclusion, the natural waste-based fertilizer showed a promising effect in alleviating soil acidity and enhancing the nutritional quality of lettuce plants.

La acidez del suelo plantea un desafío para la producción de cultivos al limitar la disponibilidad de nutrientes para las plantas. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar la eficacia de un fertilizante a base de residuos naturales compuesto de conchas de Mytilus chilensis, residuos de granos de café, cáscaras de plátano y cenizas de madera sobre el crecimiento y la calidad fisiológica de la lechuga. Las conchas se utilizaron con materia orgánica (W-OM), sin materia orgánica (Wo-OM), y una mezcla a partes iguales de W-OM y Wo-OM (50:50). Residuos de granos de café, cáscaras de plátano y cenizas de madera fueron usados como ingredientes. El pH del suelo, el índice de clorofila en las hojas de lechuga y el nivel de nitrógeno (en el suelo y en las hojas) fueron medidos durante 66 días. El contenido de vitamina C fue medido en las hojas cosechadas. El fertilizante W-OM permitió aumentar el pH del suelo desde menos de 6,5 a 7,0±0,5. El nitrógeno proporcionado por los residuos del grano de café estuvo parcialmente disponible para la raíz de la planta, lo cual disminuyó el índice de clorofila en las hojas de lechuga. Los fertilizantes estudiados (W-OM, Wo-OM y 50:50) permitieron aumentar el contenido de vitamina C en las hojas de lechuga. En conclusión, el fertilizante a base de residuos naturales mostró un efecto prometedor para aliviar la acidez del suelo y mejorar la calidad nutricional de las plantas de lechuga.
