Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) is a popular leafy vegetable. Most of its varieties are eaten fresh and commonly served as a garnish in fried rice or complementary vegetables in some fast food meals such as burgers and green salads. Nowadays, most lettuce varieties are grown hydroponically, replacing the soil and feeding all nutrients through the water. A hydroponic system is also considered a solution to overcome the shortage of arable lands and good-quality water.  This research aims to evaluate the lettuce response towards the application of AB-mix fertilizer in the hydroponic system. This research was designed using Factorial Randomized Block Design (RBD) with two factors (AB mix concentrations and lettuce varieties) and three replications. The results revealed between AB-mix concentrations and lettuce varieties, where the application of AB-mix increased the number of leaves. AB-mix's application gave an effect to all variables observed: plant height, leaf width, leaf number, and leaf chlorophyll but insignificant to root length.

The use of Efficient Microorganisms (EM) can be an effective alternative to improve plant growth and yield in the bean cultivation. Therefore, different forms of application of efficient microorganisms were evaluated in the production of two cultivars of the common bean from November of 2013 to March of 2014. Two factors were studied; the first one was comprised of the two cultivars, Velazco Largo (VL) and Cuba Cueto (CC-25-9-N). The second factor consisted of four treatments with EM; without EM (control), soil inoculation (100 mL L-1), foliage applications (100 mL L-1), and the combined soil inoculation (100 mL L-1) plus foliar applications (100 mL L-1). The experiment was carried out in a randomized block design, in factorial outline 2×4, with three repetitions. The agronomic indicators were evaluated as the number of leaves per plant, the height of plants, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, the mass of 100 seeds (g) and the yield (t ha-1). The results showed that the different forms of application of efficient microorganisms stimulated the agronomic indicators evaluated in both crops. The associated applications between the inoculation of the soil and foliage applications of efficient microorganisms provided better results, producing increments in the yield of 1.13 t ha-1 in VL and 2.15 t ha-1 in CC-25-9-N.

E-mail: [email protected]     1 RESUMO   Objetivou-se no presente estudo avaliar o crescimento e a produção da alface usando água salobra sob diferentes intervalos de recirculações das soluções nutritivas em sistemas hidropônicos. Dois experimentos foram conduzidos concomitantemente em blocos casualizados com cinco repetições. Três cultivares de alface (‘Gloriosa’, ‘Robusta’ e ‘Tainá’) foram cultivadas no mesmo canal hidropônico, sob as seguintes interações: dois sistemas hidropônicos (NFT – técnica do fluxo laminar de nutrientes e DFT – técnica do fluxo profundo, ambos em tubos de PVC) e dois níveis de condutividade elétrica da água – CEa (0,3 e 5,3 dS m–1), no Experimento I; no Experimento II, os mesmos dois níveis de CEa e três intervalos de recirculações das soluções nutritivas (0,25; 2 e 4 h), apenas no sistema DFT. No Experimento I, em geral, os sistemas hidropônicos não promoveram mudanças significativas nas variáveis de crescimento e produção das alfaces. Para o Experimento II, foi viável adotar intervalos de recirculações das soluções de até 2 h (cultivar ‘Robusta’) e 4 h (cultivares ‘Gloriosa’ e ‘Tainá’) no sistema DFT em tubos. De modo geral, apesar das reduções no crescimento e produção da alface utilizando-se água salobra (CEa 5,3 dS m–1), não houve depreciação da qualidade visual do produto para comercialização.   Palavras-chave: Lactuca sativa L., cultivo sem solo, oxigênio dissolvido, salinidade, temperatura da solução nutritiva.     FREITAS, F.

LETTUCE CULTIVATION UNDER DIFFERENT RECIRCULATION INTERVALS OF THE NUTRIENT SOLUTION IN HYDROPONIC SYSTEMS USING BRACKISH WATER     2 ABSTRACT   This study aimed to evaluate the growth and production of lettuce using brackish water under different recirculation intervals of the nutrient solution in hydroponic systems. Two experiments were conducted concomitantly, in a randomized block design with five replicates. Three lettuce cultivars (Gloriosa, Robusta and Tainá) were grown in the same hydroponic channel, under the following interactions: between two hydroponic systems (NFT – Nutrient Film Technique and DFT – Deep Flow Technique, both in PVC tubes) and two levels of electrical conductivity of water – ECw (0.3 and 5.3 dS m–1), in Experiment I; in Experiment II, between the same two levels of ECw (0.3 and 5.3 dS m–1) and three recirculation intervals of the nutrient solution (0.25, 2 and 4 h), only in the DFT system. In Experiment I, in general, hydroponic systems caused no significant changes in the growth and production variables of lettuce. For Experiment II, it was viable to adopt recirculation intervals of the nutrient solution of up to 2 h (cultivar Robusta) and 4 h (cultivars Gloriosa and Tainá) in the DFT system in tubes. Generally, despite the reductions in growth and production of lettuce using brackish water (ECw 5.3 dS m–1), but without deleterious effects on the visual quality of the product for commercialization.   Keywords: Lactuca sativa L., soilless cultivation, dissolved oxygen, salinity, nutrient solution temperature.
