Table 1 Physical and chemical characteristics of used media substrate

From: Response of sweet pepper plants to foliar application of compost tea and dry yeast under soilless conditions

Substrate	Physical				Chemical
Substrate	B.D gL⁻¹	T.P.S %	W.H.C %	A.P %	E.C mmhos⁻¹	pH
Peat moss: Perlite	392.6	62.9	47.6	15.3	0.44	7.6

where: B.D is the bulk density, T.P.S is the Total Pore Space, W.H.C is the Water Holding Capacity %, and A.P is the Air Porosity %
