Abstract: This study investigates the impact of Maxgrow, a nutrient solution with a salinity level of 12 dS/m, on the growth and development of two lettuce varieties: Iceberg lettuce (Lactuca sativa var. capitata) and Lolla Rossa lettuce (Lactuca sativa var. crispa). An experiment was conducted to evaluate the physiological responses, growth parameters, and overall yield of both lettuce types when exposed to the saline conditions induced by Maxgrow. The experimental design included controlled treatments with and without Maxgrow application, allowing for a comparative analysis. Key metrics such as germination rate, leaf number, plant height, biomass accumulation, and chlorophyll content were measured. Preliminary results indicate significant differences in tolerance levels between the two varieties, with Lolla Rossa exhibiting higher resilience to salinity stress compared to Iceberg lettuce.
