This study was conducted in 2021 under fully automated heated greenhouse conditions at Tokat Gaziosmanpaşa University (TOGÜ). The research was established in the spring of 2021 and the lettuce variety “Maritima” was used. In this study, the potential of using compost materials obtained from tomato, grape and apple pulps for lettuce seedling production in different growing environments was investigated. In the experiment, 13 different growing media [(1) control 2:1 ratio peat: perlite; (2) grape compost; (3) apple compost; (4) tomato compost; (5) grape+apple+tomato compost; (6) 2: 1 ratio grape compost:perlite; (7) 2:1 ratio apple compost:perlite; (8) 2:1 ratio tomato compost:perlite; (9) 2:1 ratio (grape+apple+tomato compost):perlite; (10) 1:1:1 ratio grape compost:perlite:1 ratio of grape compost:peat:perlite; (11) 1:1:1 ratio of apple compost:peat:perlite; (12) 1:1:1 ratio of tomato compost:peat:perlite and (13) 1:1:1 ratio of (grape+apple+tomato compost):peat:perlite] seed germination rate and germination ratio, seedling height, stem diameter, number of leaves, root length, seedling dry matter and root dry matter were investigated. The experiment was conducted according to the randomized design with 3 replications. In each replicate, 50 seedlings were grown and observations were made on 10 seedlings. As a result of the experiment, as an alternative to the peat:perlite mixture (2:1) (control), especially the treatments in which composts obtained from apple and grape pomace were used alone or together, showed similar effects on lettuce seedling production compared to the control treatments.
