Organic fertilizers still have little potential in agriculture. They are considered easy to prepare and their composition contains accessible and low-cost materials, being excellent tools for the treatment in natural ecosystems, as they maintain the balance of biodiversity. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of the use of liquid biofertilizer associated with organic bokashi on lettuce production (Lactuca sativa L.). Based on the results obtained, it was possible to evaluate that the lettuce grown in soil treated with the organic compound bokashi and with the liquid biofertilizer presented better quality in all the criteria evaluated by this work in relation to the control, but only the treatment with bokashi results was higher.
