The role of chemical fertilizer reduction and different microbial inoculants on yield increase in lettuce cultivation.

ABSTRACT: The use of probiotics to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers in agriculture has proven to be a promising area of research, especially as the agricultural sector searches for sustainable alternatives to synthetic agents. However, there are few studies integrating probiotics into agricultural practices, especially in lettuce cultivation, to minimize the use of chemical fertilizers. Most previous research has focused on the effects of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and microalgae on yield, with little consideration of the combined effects of different microorganisms under the same soil and growing conditions. In this study, the effects of microbial biostimulants on the efficiency of fertilizer use in lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) cultivation were investigated, reducing the use o
