2023-08-19T21:21:37+03:00

The experiment was carried out at the Zamzam University of Science and Technology's Faculty of Agriculture's Agricultural Experimental and Research Center, which is situated in the Garasbaaleey area, which is officially part of the Banadir Region. From March 2022 to May 2022, the experiment was conducted. The aim of the study was to assess the performance of different growth substrates with the lettuce seed variety known as "Optima,” in a pot-growing system. Where M1 was peat moss, M2 was rice husk, M3 was sawdust, and M4 was a mixture of peat moss, rice husk, and sawdust. In the experiment, data on plant height, number of leaves per plant, leaf length, leaf breadth, root length, and fresh weight per plant were collected. According to the results, plants grown in peat moss produced with the greatest plant height, leaf width, and fresh weight per plant, while the mixture (peat, rice husk, and sawdust) produced the longest roots. Therefore the study demonstrated that lettuce (Optima) variety may be grown in an aggregate soilless system in the tropics, such as Somalia, using peat moss-based growing surfaces. The mixture can be utilized as a growing substrate for a pot-growing system in the absence of peat moss.
