Leafy Vegetables’ Agronomic Variables, Nitrate, and Bioactive Compounds Have Different Responses to Bokashi, Mineral Fertilization, and Boiled Chicken Manure

In the current study, effect of boiled chicken manure (BCM) doses by fertigation, bokashi, and mineral fertilization on agronomic variables, bioactive compounds, nitrate levels two cultivars lettuce (romaine frisée types) one cultivar radicchio chicory was studied. Overall, higher variable values were found for leafy plants in bokashi-fertilized plants. The BCM 5, 7.5, 10% fertilization, general, increased these variables an apparent increasing trend. For chicory, bokashi presented means comparison with TB, CB, CI. lettuce, had highest PH. romaine, all except PD. each plant species responded differently when varying source. content, observed treatments.
