Abstract

Agricultural land application of Protaetia brevitarsis larvae manure (PM) is a common process that improves soil fertility and increases crop production. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of PM on the growth of lettuce and soil chemical properties. Lettuce was planted in silt loam soil amended with three rates of PM 0 (CF), 540 (CFP1), and 1,080 (CFP2) kg 10a-1 with chemical fertilizer (20.0 kg 10a-1 N, 5.9 kg 10a-1 P2O5, and 12.8 kg 10a-1 K2O) and animal mixed compost 540 kg 10a-1 with chemical fertilizer (CFC). Increasing rates of PM caused a significant increase in soil organic matter content and yield of lettuce compared to CF (P < 0.05). Our findings suggest that Protaetia brevitarsis larvae manure can be used as an organic fertilizer to raise crops.

Effect of Protaetia brevitarsis larvae manure application on lettuce growth.
Treatments Leaf length (cm) Leaf width (cm) Leaf number (no. plant-1) Fresh weight (g plant-1) Yield (kg 10a-1)

CFC 24.3 ab 16.9 b 23.6 a 261 b 4,250 b

†CF, chemical fertilizer; CFC, chemical fertilizer + animal mixed compost 540 kg 10a-1; CFP1, chemical fertilizer + Protaetia brevitarsis larvae manure 540 kg 10a-1; CFP2, chemical fertilizer + Protaetia brevitarsis larvae manure 1,080 kg 10a-1.

‡Means followed by different letters within the same row are significantly different at significance level α = 0.05 according to Duncan’s multiple range test.
