Enrichment of lithium in lettuce plants through agronomic biofortification

Biofortification of crops with lithium (Li) is a new trend in agriculture and researches on this subject still scarce, therefore, this work aims to evaluate the accumulation potential and the effects in agronomic characteristics of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) submitted to foliar application of two Li chemical sources and different concentrations. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse and the applications of lithium hydroxide (LiOH) and...
