Use [of] a combination of innovative electronic technology of MaxGrow (MG) and Agro-Nanobubbles generator (Agro-NBs) for growing 2 varieties (Lollo Rossa and Lollo Verde) of lettuce (Lactuca Sativa L.), in 5 different soil types in pots, under high salinity (E.C. 12 dS/m) irrigation water management

Abstract

The study investigates the impact of high salinity irrigation water on lettuce growth and development in five different soil types. It uses water treatment technologies like MaxGrow, an electronic water conditioning device, and a nanobubble generator to test their potential to reduce salinity stress. Results show that nanobubble-treated water significantly improved root growth and plant resistance in saline conditions. However, the combination of MaxGrow and nanobubbles had less favorable effects. Clay loam soil promoted the highest plant development, while clay soil limited performance. The study suggests that nanobubble technology can effectively mitigate salinity stress on lettuce growth.
