Enhancing the Yield, Quality and Antioxidant Content of Lettuce through Innovative and Eco-Friendly Biofertilizer Practices in Hydroponics

Horticulturae, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 9(12), P. 1274 - 1274

Published: Nov. 27, 2023

Hydroponics is a contemporary agricultural system providing precise control over growing conditions, potentially enhancing productivity. Biofertilizers are environmentally friendly, next-generation fertilizers that augment product yield and quality in hydroponic cultivation. In this study, we investigated the effect of three bio-fertilizers floating system, microalgae, plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), combined with 50% reduction mineral fertilizer, on lettuce parameters including antioxidants: vitamin C, total phenols flavonoids. The treatments tested were: 100% fertilizer (control 1), 2), PGPR AMF. research was conducted during winter months within controlled environment glasshouse Mediterranean climate. comprised distinct bacterial strains, while AMF nine different species. microalgae consisted only single species, Chlorella vulgaris. inoculation occurred once seed sowing, introduction at 10-day intervals into root medium. Our findings revealed treatment resulted highest growth parameters, circumference, stem diameter fresh leaf weight. also yielded production. Meanwhile, showed phenol flavonoid content, which statistically similar to treatment. Furthermore, recorded maximum range essential nutrients, nitrogen (N), potassium (K), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn) copper (Cu). Thus, inclusion holds promise for optimizing nutrient content systems. conclusion, has potential enhance availability reducing dependence chemical fertilizers. This mitigates environmental pollution fosters sustainable agriculture.

Improving Undernutrition with Microalgae

Nutrients, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 16(18), P. 3223 - 3223

Published: Sept. 23, 2024

Undernutrition is an important global health problem, especially in children and older adults. Both reversal of maternal child undernutrition heathy ageing have become United Nations-supported initiatives, leading to increased attention nutritional interventions targeting undernutrition. One feasible option microalgae, the precursor all terrestrial plants. Most commercially farmed microalgae are photosynthetic single-celled organisms producing organic carbon compounds oxygen. This review will discuss commercial opportunities grow microalgae. Microalgae produce lipids (including omega-3 fatty acids), proteins, carbohydrates, pigments micronutrients so can provide a suitable underutilised alternative for addressing The benefits nutrients derived from been identified, thus they candidates issues globally. potential microalgae-derived be converted into food products. advantages cultivation include that it does not need arable land or pesticides. Additionally, most species still unexplored, presenting options further development. Further, usefulness other purposes such as bioremediation biofuels increase knowledge these microorganisms, allowing development more efficient production interventions.
