Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Biochar and rice husk treatments increased effective soil depth up to 27 cm.
- Intervention effect Biochar and rice husk treatments decreased electrical conductivity from 5.3 to 1.4 dS m -1 in greenhouse lettuce soil.
- Intervention effect Biochar and rice husk treatments significantly increased the number of leaves per lettuce plant compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Biochar and rice husk treatments significantly increased lettuce yield to 5,037 and 5,061 kg 10a -1 compared with the control, about 2.6-fold.
- Intervention effect The MS treatment exhibited the highest soil bulk density, 1.2 Mg m -3.
- Intervention effect The MS treatment exhibited the lowest soil organic matter content, 28.0 g kg -1.
- Intervention effect BC treatment effectively suppressed soil nematode density to 31 individuals per 100 g soil.
- Intervention effect BC treatment reduced fusarium wilt incidence in greenhouse lettuce.
- Intervention effect RH and RS treatments slightly increased soil nematode populations.
- Intervention effect RH and RS treatments positively influenced lettuce root development.
- Recommendation Biochar and rice husks are effective amendments for mitigating continuous cropping stress in greenhouse lettuce cultivation.
