Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Black film gave the maximum soil pH and temperature.
- Intervention effect The non-plastic film condition gave the worst data in the experiment.
- Intervention effect Colored plastic treatments significantly affected the phytochemical concentrations and nutritive value of lettuce.
- Intervention effect Chlorophyll and anthocyanin contents were increased in lettuce grown in soil covered with black polyethylene.
- Intervention effect Phenol and carotenoid contents were increased in lettuce grown in soil covered with black polyethylene.
- Intervention effect Vitamin C content was about 2.5 fold higher in lettuce grown under black film than under control conditions.
- Intervention effect Plastic film application increased macro and micronutrient concentrations in lettuce.
- Recommendation Plastic filming could be used to enhance the yield and nutritional status of lettuce in natural plant production facilities.
