The study found that in saline conditions, lettuce plants had lower yields but higher chlorophyll content and nitrate levels. Different cultivars showed varying levels of adaptation to salinity.
The goal of this research was to investigate the effect of electrical conductivity (EC) levels of the nutrient solution on the fresh weight, chlorophyll, and nitrate content of hydroponic-system-grown lettuce. The selected cultivars are the most representative commercial varieties grown for European markets. Seven cultivars ('Sintia,' 'Limeira,' 'Corentine,' 'Cencibel,' 'Kiber,' 'Attirai,' and 'Rouxai') of three Lactuca sativa L. types' (butterhead, loose leaf, and oak leaf) were grown in a phytotron in rockwool, meanwhile the EC level of the nutrient solutions were different: normal (<1.3 dS/m) and high (10 dS/m). The plants in the saline condition had a lower yield but elevated chlorophyll content and nitrate level, although the 'Limeira' and 'Cencibel' cultivars had reduced nitrate levels. The results and the special characteristic of the lollo-type cultivars showed that the nitrate level could be very different due to salinity ('Limeira' had the lowest (684 mu g/g fresh weight (FW)) and 'Cencibel' had the highest (4396 mu g/g FW)). There was a moderately strong negative correlation (-0.542) in the reverse ratio among the chlorophyll and nitrate contents in plants treated with a normal EC value, while this relationship was not shown in the saline condition. Under the saline condition, cultivars acted differently, and all examined cultivars stayed under the permitted total nitrate level (5000 mu g/g FW).
