Abstract

The organic lettuce production, in addition to bringing environmental benefits, benefits the
lowest cost per area and an average valuation around 20%, compared to conventional farming.
The objective of this research was to evaluate the effects of different organic fertilizers on lettuce
production. The experiment was conducted in the Department of Technology and Social
Sciences CAMPUS III of the State University of Bahia (UNEB) between November and December
2016. The design was a randomized complete block design with four replicates. The
treatments consisted of the incorporation of three types of fertilizers (humus, goat manure and
litter bed) in the proportion of 30 t ha-1 with a control treatment. The evaluated characteristics
were leaf number, fresh and dry shoot mass, where the highest fresh mass was obtained with
the use of poultry litter and goat manure respectively.
