This study aims to assess how biochar and bamboo vinegar impact the growth and iron content of red spinach microgreens.
Conducted a factorial (2 × 6) experiment in a completely randomized design using cocopeat as the growing medium.
Applied biochar treatment (with and without) along with bamboo vinegar concentrations of 0, 50, 100, 200, 400, and 800 ppm.
Biochar significantly improved overall plant growth and sensory attributes compared to non-biochar treatments.
Bamboo vinegar concentrations of 200-800 ppm enhanced plant height, with the highest fresh biomass recorded at 800 ppm.
Iron content ranged from 202.09 to 481.66 ppm, influenced by water content, limiting direct comparison to dry weight studies.
