Physical Analysis of Different Substrates for Hydroponic Cultivation of Lettuce Seedlings

Mostrar todas las versiones(2)

The substrate of seedbeds is crucial for obtaining quality seedlings in any type of cultivation. The high cost of imported substrates requires the use of stable, proven quality, and safe local materials, by-products from the agro-industry. The physical properties of substrates are critical and diffi...

The high cost of imported substrates requires the use of stable, proven quality, and safe local materials, by-products from the agro-industry. The physical properties of substrates are critical and difficult to modify once in the container. The objective of this work was to analyze the physical properties of three substrates: sand, sheep wool, and siliconized cotton for lettuce seedlings. Sand showed lower total porosity, air porosity, and water retention capacity compared to the other treatments. Siliconized cotton exhibited physical properties similar to sheep wool. The use of local, biodegradable, and economical substrates such as sheep wool promotes sustainability and a circular economy by utilizing sheep by-products. Producers prioritize the cost-benefit ratio and market availability when selecting a substrate. El sustrato de los almácigos es crucial para obtener plantines de calidad en cualquier tipo de cultivo. El alto costo de los sustratos importados, requiere utilizar materiales locales, subproductos de la agroindustria estables y de probada calidad e inocuidad. Las propiedades físicas de los sustratos son críticas y difíciles de modificar una vez en el contenedor. El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar las propiedades físicas de tres sustratos: arena, lana de oveja y guata siliconada de plantines de lechuga. En la arena se observó una porosidad total, porosidad de aireación y capacidad de retención de agua menor que en los demás tratamientos. La guata siliconada mostró propiedades físicas similares a la lana de oveja. El uso de sustratos locales, biodegradables y económicos como la lana de oveja promueve la sostenibilidad y la economía circular al aprovechar subproductos ovinos. Los productores priorizan la relación costo/beneficio y la disponibilidad en el mercado al seleccionar un sustrato. Faculta de Ciencias Agropecuarias.
