Lettuce is cultivated on over one million hectares worldwide, with Argentina contributing 40,000 ha. Córdoba province the second-largest producer in Argentina, but its green belt has seen significant reductions areas. New environmentally friendly technologies are needed to improve, sustain and increase lettuce volume production. This study aimed use plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) as a sustainable alternative enhance production (Lactuca sativa L.) growth while mitigating...
Pineapple is a rustic species but may respond positively to conservation practices of soil management. This work aimed evaluate the physical properties under management for cultivation pineapple genotypes. The treatments consisted four varieties pineapple, two levels gypsum (0 4 t ha-1), (with and without cover crop - millet), layers -0.05 0.05 0.20 m). A randomized complete block design was used, with replications arranged in x 2 factorial scheme, resulting 128 plots. Soil samples were...
