“…The antioxidant activity of plants is affected by the amount of organic matter present in the substrate, namely the compost rate in our experiment, due to various factors such as higher K availability since this element is strongly linked to enzymatic activities [56,57], the greater abundance of soluble salts [58] and micronutrients [59]. As matter of fact, our results showed a positive correlation between the compost rate in the substrate (S) and total polyphenols (r > 0.95), confirming the potential qualitative improvement of vegetables due to compost application, as reported by Sousa et al [60], Saikia and Upadhyaya, [61], Aminifard et al [62] and Lujàn-Hidalgo et al [63]. The relevant presence of aromatic moieties and, hence, of stable and humified organic compounds in the compost, evidenced by Caporale et al [37] through infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis, may have stimulated the production of polyphenolic compounds in lettuce foliar biomass [64,65].…”

Heavy payloads in future shuttle journeys to Mars present limiting factors, making self-sustenance essential for future colonies. Therefore, in situ resources utilization (ISRU) is the path to successful and feasible space voyages. This research frames the concept of planting leafy vegetables on Mars regolith simulant, ameliorating this substrate’s fertility by the addition of organic residues produced in situ. For this purpose, two butterhead lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. var. capitata) cultivars (green and red Salanova®) were chosen to be cultivated in four different mixtures of MMS-1 Mojave Mars simulant:compost (0:100, 30:70, 70:30 and 100:0; v:v) in a phytotron open gas exchange growth chamber. The impact of compost rate on both crop performance and the nutritive value of green- and red-pigmented cultivars was assessed. The 30:70 mixture proved to be optimal in terms of crop performance, photosynthetic activity, intrinsic water use efficiency and quality traits of lettuce. In particular, red Salanova® showed the best performance in terms of these quality traits, registering 32% more phenolic content in comparison to 100% simulant. Nonetheless, the 70:30 mixture represents a more realistic scenario when taking into consideration the sustainable use of compost as a limited resource in space farming, while still accepting a slight significant decline in yield and quality in comparison to the 30:70 mixture.

“…However, even as several reports exist which have shown that VC stimulated seed germination [17][18][19], supported plant growth and enhanced the yield and the quality of fruits [20,21] of several plant species, there are also reports describing that VC either had no beneficial effect or had a detrimental effect [19,[22][23][24][25]. Likewise, there are reports which show that VC can induce resistance in plants against pests and diseases [26][27][28][29] but it is not known whether the opposite effect also occurs.…”

Efficacy of the Vermicomposts of Different Organic Wastes as “Clean” Fertilizers: State-of-the-Art

Vermicomposting is a process in which earthworms are utilized to convert biodegradable organic waste into humus-like vermicast. Past work, mainly on vermicomposting of animal droppings, has shown that vermicompost is an excellent organic fertilizer and is also imbibed with pest-repellent properties. However, there is no clarity whether vermicomposts of organic wastes other than animal droppings are as plant-friendly as the manure-based vermicomposts are believed to be. It is also not clear as to whether the action of a vermicompost as a fertilizer depends on the species of plants being fertilized by it. This raises questions whether vermicomposts are beneficial (or harmful) at all levels of application or if there is a duality in their action which is a function of their rate of application. The present work is an attempt to seek answers to these questions. To that end, all hitherto published reports on the action of vermicomposts of different substrates on different species of plants have been assessed. The study reveals that, in general, vermicomposts of all animal/plant based organic wastes are highly potent fertilizers. They also possess some ability to repel plant pests. The factors that shape these properties have been assessed and the knowledge gaps that need to be bridged have been identified.

“…fertilizado con roca de sulfuro (Luján et al, 2017). Además, como se mencionó anteriormente el uso de azufre en combinación con lixiviado mostro ser el mejor tratamiento, probablemente se atribuya a la disponibilidad inmediata, la composición de ácidos húmicos y otras sustancias biológicamente activas, las cuales regulan el crecimiento vegetal favoreciendo así al crecimiento y el metabolismo secundario de las plantas (Preciado et al, 2014).…”

Germinados de maíz se fertilizaron con lixiviado de vermicompost y azufre para analizar el efecto que producen estos compuestos sobre la calidad fitoquímica con respecto al contenido de fenoles totales y capacidad antioxidante. Se realizaron determinaciones del contenido fenólico total (FNL), flavonoides (FVL) y capacidad antioxidante (AOX) de los brotes al comparar tres tratamientos como fuente de nutrimentos: lixiviado, azufre y lixiviado‑azufre; además de un tratamiento control con agua simple. El lixiviado fue obtenido a partir de la elaboración de vermicompost. Los resultados mostraron incrementos en la concentración de las variables evaluadas en los tres tratamientos estudiados. La combinación lixiviado‑azufre presentó los valores más altos para FNL, FVL, AOX con valores promedios de 9.123 mg g‑1 PS, 6.63 mg g-1 PS, 6088 μmol TE/100 g-1 PS (70, 64, 61% mayor al control), respectivamente. Los hallazgos ilustran que el valor nutricional y las propiedades funcionales de los brotes de germinados de maíz puede incrementarse a través de la suplementación con azufre y lixiviado de vermicompost.
