Abstract

Lettuce (Lactuca sativa), the most cultivated and consumed leaf vegetable in Paraguay, is considered nutrient demanding because it requires relatively large quantities in a relatively short period of time. In order to evaluate the effect of different doses of two organic amendments, cattle manure and earthworm humus in production, it was developed in the Paraguayan Institute of Agricultural Technology (IPTA) – Caacupé, Paraguay, an experiment using a randomized complete block design, with eight treatments and three repetitions. The treatments were: a) Worm humus T1 = 0 kg m-2, T2 = 0.4 kg m-2, T3 = 0.6 kg m-2, T4 = 0.8 kg m-2; b) Cattle manure T5 = 0 kg m-2, T6 = 2 kg m-2, T7 = 4 kg m-2 and T8 = 6 kg m-2. The genetic material used was the lettuce of the Graciela variety (Pirati type). The surface of each experimental unit was 2 m2, with 4 rows of lettuce per unit, with a distance of 0.25 m between rows and 0.25 m between plants. The distance between experimental units was 0.50 m. The total area of the experiment was 78 m2 with 864 plants. The variables evaluated were plant height, commercial fresh mass, fresh leaf mass, dry mass, number of leaves, fresh root weight and dry root weight. The data were subjected to analysis of variance (ANAVA), evaluating the differences between means by the Tukey test at 5% error probability. The results obtained indicate that the application of worm humus and cattle manure did not exert any effect on the yield components in a lettuce crop cycle.
