Lettuce productivity and quality of tomato seedlings with potato bioproduct

The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of application of Acrescent Foliar® derived of alcoholic fermentation of potato, in lettuce productivity and in quality of tomato seedlings. Two experiments were conducted in field with lettuce crop in a randomized block design with three replications and, two experiments were conducted in greenhouse with production of tomato seedlings in polystyrene trays with 128 cells in a complete randomized design with four replications. It was measured the fresh and dry biomass of the shoot of lettuce, and the plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, fresh biomass of roots and shoot, dry biomass of the shoot and, the relation between the fresh biomass of shoot and roots in tomato seedlings. The foliar fertilization with Acrescent Foliar® does not influence the lettuce productivity and it conferred undesirable characteristics in the tomato seedlings such as reduced roots fresh biomass and increased ratio between the fresh biomass of shoot and roots.
