Descripción:	Purpose: This study evaluated how fermented agro-industrial bran composts, with or without T. asperellum inoculation, affect soil enzymatic activity and crop performance in successively grown American lettuce and bertalha under organic management at Fazendinha Agroecológica, Brazil. Conclusion: Utilizing regionally available agro-industrial waste, such as passion fruit peel and rice bran, in compost formulations presents an agronomically efficient strategy for enhancing sustainability and reducing monetary costs in organic farming units. Highlights · Fermented composts increased iceberg lettuce yield by up to 83%. · Residual effects on bertalha yield reached up to 67% higher than the control. · T. asperellum did not influence soil microbial activity in this study. · Compost with passion fruit peel and rice bran proved agronomically efficient. · Using agro-industrial waste reduces costs and boosts organic farming sustainability.
