Effect of substrates consisting of organic waste processed by diplopods on production of lettuce seedlings

Purpose To characterize substrates made of millicomposts produced from a mixture of cow paw leaves (Bauhinia sp.), grass clippings (Paspalum notatum), banana leaves (Musa sp.) and cardboard submitted to processing through the activity of millipedes Trigoniulus corallinus for 90, 125 or 180 days. The efficiency of producing lettuce seedlings using these substrates was compared to […]
