This study was conducted to investigate the application effects of dried food waste powder (FWP) and mixtures of FWP and organic fertilizer (MFOs) on the growth of lettuce and Chinese cabbage. The physicochemical properties of FWP and MFOs were analyzed. As FWPs containing 3.11% NaCl was applied at 250 kg, 500 kg and 1,000 kg per 10a, growth factors of lettuce and Chinese cabbage, such as a number of leaf, leaf length, leaf width, and dry weight were decreased than those of control appling organic fertilizer. The higher the FWP ratio in the MFOs, the lower the concentrations of N and P₂O₅ in the MFOs, while the higher the concentration of NaCl. As compared to dry weight of control after treating MFOs, lettuce were not significant in MFOs treatments containing 10~30% FWP, and Chinese cabbage in MFOs treatment containing 10% FWP.
