La caca de caballo podr\u00eda tener la respuesta a la vida en Marte, seg\u00fan una nueva investigaci\u00f3n.\u00a0Los cient\u00edficos probaron esti\u00e9rcol de caballo y cerdo mezclado con suelo marciano y lunar simulado para ver qu\u00e9 tan bien crecer\u00edan las lechugas.<\/p>\n
El estudio, realizado por cient\u00edficos de las universidades italianas de N\u00e1poles Federico II y Basilicata, se public\u00f3 en la revista revisada por pares Plants el 2 de diciembre. Es parte de la investigaci\u00f3n sobre la viabilidad de alimentar a los astronautas en misiones tripuladas a la Luna o Marte.<\/p>\n
La mezcla de esti\u00e9rcol de caballo y cerdo, dise\u00f1ada como un sustituto de los \u00abexcrementos de la tripulaci\u00f3n\u00bb (el t\u00e9rmino educado para la caca de astronauta) y los residuos de cultivos, se mezcl\u00f3 con el \u00absuelo\u00bb marciano y lunar para ver si la producci\u00f3n de alimentos, en teor\u00eda, podr\u00eda ser posible. Para aquellos que hayan visto el \u00e9xito de taquilla de 2015 Marte, que cuenta la historia de la lucha del astronauta Mark Watney (Matt Damon) por sobrevivir en Marte, esto quiz\u00e1s os suene un poco familiar.<\/p>\n
Los investigadores midieron el crecimiento de la lechuga, la absorci\u00f3n de nutrientes y la biodisponibilidad de nutrientes en las mezclas de esti\u00e9rcol\/suelo simulado despu\u00e9s del crecimiento de la planta.<\/p>\n
El suelo marciano simulado se desempe\u00f1\u00f3 mejor desde el punto de vista agron\u00f3mico: en t\u00e9rminos sencillos, Marte cultiv\u00f3 mejores lechugas.<\/p>\n
Pero los investigadores tambi\u00e9n descubrieron que el suelo simulado tanto de Marte como de la Luna \u00abpudo mantener el crecimiento de las plantas incluso en ausencia de fertilizaci\u00f3n\u00bb, aunque la adici\u00f3n de la mezcla de esti\u00e9rcol arroj\u00f3 mejores resultados.<\/p>\n
Descubrieron que la mejor respuesta de crecimiento del cultivo se logr\u00f3 con una proporci\u00f3n de 70:30 de \u00absuelo\u00bb a la mezcla de esti\u00e9rcol.<\/p>\n
Todav\u00eda queda un camino por recorrer antes de que veamos al hombre en la Luna cuidando su huerto. Los investigadores destacaron que para evaluar la viabilidad de las mezclas de suelo para el crecimiento de plantas en el espacio, estos hallazgos deben validarse en experimentos de seguimiento en microgravedad.<\/p>\n
Algo para reflexionar la pr\u00f3xima vez que est\u00e9s bifurcando el mont\u00f3n de basura…<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
