Abstract |
Agriculture sector is under pressure in producing more foods in order to feed the growing population. Vegetable production is also the important part to solve the problem in the agricultural market. Nowadays, organic productions are in demand in order to promote health awareness and food safety. Vermicomposting extract is liquid bio fertilizers which able to boot up plant nutrients and plant productions. Thus, this study was conducted to investigate the effect of vermicomposting extract on germination of green Romaine (Lactuca sativa L. var. Jericho) and green Batavia (Lactuca sativa L.var. Concept) and to identify the treatment which is suitable to enhance seed germination. The experiment was arranged in a Complete Randomized Design with 3 replications in the patri dish. The concentration of vermicomposting extract was diluted to (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%) to irrigate seeds. Seed germination, root length, shoot length, seed vigor index, fresh weight, and dry weight were measured after 13 days of seed germination. The seed germination percentage of green Romaine and Batavia lettuce were significantly (p<0.05) increased up to (86-95%) and (87-95%) when irrigated with 100% vermicomposting extract. In conclusion, using vermicomposting extract as the nutrient source could enhance plant growth. |
