- Intervention effect Washing improved lettuce radicle length.
- Method / resource The germination index performed better after substrate washing.
- Intervention effect Six substrate leachings improved tomato radicle growth in used-substrate extracts.
- Observation Marigold performance resembled tomato and lettuce bioassays.
