Abstract


Lettuce (Lactuca sativa convar. capitata L.) is a significant vegetable, rich in vitamins, and has several beneficial characteristics in the course of growing without soil: faster development, higher average of yield, balanced and schemed development, and furthermore, growing can be automated, environmentally friendly, and growing does not require significant manual labour. The aim of this research was to determine the optimal nutrient concentrations of magnesium and nitrogen to quantify the proper fertilizer concentrations for hydroponic lettuce (Lactuca sativa convar. capitata L.) cultivation in the aspect of biomass production.


Keywords
