Image of the chickpea plants after five weeks displaying a diversity of chlorophyll. investigates how chickpeas have been successfully grown in lunar regolith simulants , marking the first time such a guideline has been established not only for chickpeas, but also for growing food for long-term human space missions.
Image of chickpea plants while growing in a 75% mixture of lunar regolith simulant. ) in lunar regolith simulants. We used soil regeneration techniques common on Earth with LRS for the first time, using both AMF and VC. We also achieved the first documented chickpea yield in an LRS mixture. Our results show that regeneration methods used on Earth soils can help condition lunar regoliths. Despite promising results, all plants in LRS showed signs of chlorophyll deficiency.
Chlorophyll has the vital responsibility for absorbing light, most often sunlight, for the plant to use for photosynthesis. While the team did note chlorophyll deficiencies, they also noted, “By week seven, a visible improvement in chlorophyll levels suggests successful AMF colonization in the inoculated group” with the inoculation occurring due to the incorporated AMF.
This novelty not only includes the International Space Station and upcoming Artemis missions but could also include commercial space stations such as the planned, which is due to send its first module to the ISS sometime in 2026.
