The porpose of this work was to study the effect of different nutrient solutions applied in two outflow in the hidroponic yeld of lettuce (Lactuca sativa). This research was accomplished at greenhouse through hydroponic system NFT in Maringá State University. The treatments consisted of three nutrient solutions (S1=0,8 dS/m, S2=1,2 dS/m e S3=2,5 dS/m) combined with two flows of application (V1=0,8 L.min-1 e V2=1,2 L.min-1 ) in the growing channels of cultivation. The flows of application of the solutions were 0,8 L.min-1 (V1) and 1,2 L.min-1 (V2), placed alternately in the growing channels in a 3 x 2 factorial scheme. To evaluate the effect of treatments on the culture development the data were submitted to the variance analysis (Test F), and the results were evaluated through Tukey (5%) average test. The analysis of the results allowed to conclude that the factories nutrient solution and flow did not show significant interaction. The greater values evaluated of biomass fresh and diameter of stem by plant were obtained in treatment solution 2 (EC= 1,2 dS/m).
