Abstract
Combined effect of Pseudomonas sp. and Trichoderma aureoviride on lettuce growth promotion
Highlights
Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) is a widely grown crop and a vegetable popularly consumed throughout the world
The height of lettuce plants that received CM did not differ between treatments with bacteria or fungi inoculated alone or associated, but all treatments showed difference compared to the control
For the number of leaves, the combination of fungus and bacteria (CMFB) treatment showed a significant difference in relation to the control, showing an increase of 287.3% at the end of the crop cycle, demonstrating interaction between plant growth promoter microorganisms
Summary
Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) is a widely grown crop and a vegetable popularly consumed throughout the world. Lettuce is harvested all over the world and makes up an important part of vegetables in the world’s population diet, as it is a rich source of vitamins, minerals and fiber. It is the most popular vegetable among those whose leaves are eaten raw and still fresh (ZÁRATE et al, 2010). The search for new technologies that are effective, low-cost and sustainable for lettuce management is growing (ZAIDI et al, 2015). In this regard, the use of plant growth promoters can be highly variable due to several limiting factors, including culture type, growth conditions and inoculum rate. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain growth promotion, including pathogen control and increased nutrients absorption (STEWART; HILL, 2014)
