Title

THE CHALLENGE OF USING DATE BRANCH WASTE AS A PEAT SUBSTITUTEIN CONTAINER NURSERY PRODUCTION OF LETTUCE (LACTUCA SATIVA L. )

Pages

  357-364

Abstract

 Purpose Peat-based substrates constitute the preferred media in conventional and organic nursery production. Nevertheless, in recent years, there has been a growing interest in environmental impacts associated with peat extraction that has increasedwith the demand of these non-renewable substrates. The re-use of organic wastes as substrate seems to be good solutionto substitute commercial peat. This study evaluates date-palm peat (wastes of date-palm branches base locally known as“ Kornef” ) as an alternative nursery substrate. Methods The research was conducted in a completely block randomized design with a linear substitution (0, 25, 50, 75 and100%) of peat with date-palm waste peat for transplant production of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. ). Different physicochemicalparameters (porosity, bulk density, pH, and CEC) of cultivation substrates were measured. The growth parameters (leavesnumber, leaves area, length, chlorophyll values, fresh and dry weight of seedlings) were evaluated at the end of growth period(when the seedling reached the commercial transplanting size). Results The results showed that date-palm waste peat is an appropriate media for nursery production, showing similarproperties with commercial peat and best plant response with 25 and 50% substitution. Conclusions In view of low cost, availability and large area of date-palm cultivation in Tunisia and over the world, it seemsthat peat can be replaced with substrate of date-palm wastes in the horticulture sector.
