The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different substrates and concentrations of nutrient solutions in the production of arugula (Eruca sativa Miller) microgreens grown in a protected environment at the campus of the Faculty of Agronomy of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), in Porto Alegre, Brazil. The treatments consisted of the combination of five commercial substrates, CSC® vermiculite (S1), Green-Up phenolic foam (S2), S10 Beifiur® organic (S3), Carolina Soil® seedlings (S4), and Carolina Soil® organic (S5) and three concentrations of nutrients in the nutrient solution (0, 50, and 100%). A 5x3 factorial arrangement was used, in a completely randomized experimental design with three replicates. The addition of nutrients in the irrigation solution favored substrates S1, S4, and S5. Substrate S2 showed better performance with the addition of 50% of the total concentration of nutrients. Substrate S3 without the addition of the nutrient solution showed average values very close to the use of the nutrient solution, which can be considered in the evaluation of production costs of microgreens, generating savings to producers.

El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar los efectos de diferentes sustratos y concentraciones de soluciones nutritivas en la producción de microvegetales de rúgula (Eruca sativa Miller) cultivados en un ambiente protegido en el campus de la Facultad
de Agronomía de la Universidad Federal de Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), en Porto Alegre, Brasil. Los tratamientos consistieron en la combinación de cinco sustratos comerciales, CSC® vermiculita (S1), espuma fenólica Green-Up (S2), S10 Beifiur® orgánico (S3), Carolina Soil® plántulas (S4) y Carolina Soil® orgánico (S5) y tres concentraciones de nutrientes en la solución nutritiva (0, 50 y 100%). Se utilizó un arreglo factorial 5x3, en un diseño experimental completamente al azar con tres repeticiones. La adición de nutrientes en la solución de riego favoreció a los sustratos S1, S4 y S5. El sustrato S2 mostró un mejor desempeño con la adición del 50% de la concentración total de nutrientes. El sustrato S3 sin la adición de la solución nutritiva mostró valores promedio muy cercanos al uso de la solución nutritiva, lo que se puede tener en cuenta en la evaluación de costos de producción de microvegetales, generando ahorros para los productores.
