Abstract
Las zeolitas son minerales de estructura cristalina y nanoporosa con alta capacidad de adsorción de agua y retención de nutrimentos, los cuales pueden ser liberados de manera gradual al entorno radicular. Estas propiedades las posicionan como materiales con potencial para mejorar la disponibilidad nutrimental y la eficiencia productiva en cultivos agrícolas. El objetivo de la presente investigación fue analizar el efecto de la incorporación de zeolita al sustrato sobre el crecimiento de plantas de lechuga (Lactuca sativa L. cv. Maximus). Las semillas se establecieron en charolas de espuma de polifenol y se regaron con solución nutritiva Universal Steiner al 25 y 50 %. A los 30 días después de la siembra, las plántulas se transfirieron a bolsas de polietileno de 3 L que contenían una mezcla de tezontle (partículas > 0.5 cm) y zeolita en proporciones de 0, 2, 4 y 6 % (v/v). La adición de zeolita al sustrato disminuyó la altura de planta y número de hojas en las dosis evaluadas, además, la concentración al 6 % redujo la longitud de la hoja más grande en relación con el tratamiento testigo. El suministro de zeolita al sustrato altera el crecimiento de plantas de lechuga.
