| Experiment Background | Lettuce is one of the most important vegetable crops in temperate countries; however it occupies an important position for its cultivation in tropical and subtropical countries also. It has the largest area among all the salad crops therefore carries the most importance. It is rich in vitamin A and C with minerals like calcium and iron. Among various factors, transplanting time plays an important role in production of lettuce. It influences the crop yield and quality. Earlier transplanting usually results in greater crop biomass, higher risk of lodging at the end of the season and increased risk of frost damage during flowering and pod setting. However, these risks can be outweighed by a longer growing season and subsequently higher yield potential could be obtained. The optimum transplanting time for maximizing yield varies with location. Therefore, keeping the above facts in mind this experiment has been formulated with following objective. | ||
