Abstract:
Organic fresh produce is increasingly recognized for its health benefits and environmental sustainability. Hydroponic systems offer an efficient method for vegetable cultivation, yet there is a growing interest in organic nutrient solutions as alternatives to synthetic fertilizers. This study evaluates the impact of an organic-based nutrient solution (NS) derived from jeevamrit, supplemented with organic waste, on lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) growth and yield in a hydroponic system. The study compared plant height, number of leaves, and overall vegetative growth between organic and inorganic NS. Results demonstrated that while plants grown in organic NS initially exhibited slower growth, they surpassed inorganic NS in terms of both plant height and leaf number by week 8. However, organic NS required a longer maturity period. These findings highlight the potential of organic hydroponic solutions to enhance sustainability in controlled environments. Further research should explore nutrient optimization for improved efficiency and reduced growth delays.
