    INFLUENCE OF SPACINGAND NUTRITION ON GROWTH, YIELD AND QUALITY OF LETTUCE (Lactuca sativa L.) UNDER PROTECTED CULTIVATION
    (2022-12-02) AJAY, S. M.; CHANDRAPPA
    An experiment was conducted to study the “Influence of spacing and nutrition on growth, yield and quality of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) under protected cultivation” at ICAR- Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Hadonahalli, Doddaballapur Taluk, Bengaluru Rural District during rabi 2021. The results revealed that plant height (38.12 cm) and head yield per hectare (304.38 q ha-1) was recorded significantly higher at 45 cm × 22.5 cm spacing. Higher number of leaves (18.26), plant spread (32.54 cm), leaf area (290.28 cm2), fresh weight (407.02 g), dry weight (29.30 g), head girth (12.93 cm), yield per plant (407.02 g), chlorophyll content (48.40), vitamin-c (40.43), firmness (2.75), shelf life (9 days), plant uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (160.16, 72.85 and 127.13 kg ha-1, respectively) was recorded at 45 cm × 45 cm spacing. The higher plant height (37.65 cm), number of leaves (18.51), plant spread (32.33 cm), leaf area (268.42 cm2), fresh weight (388.45 g), dry weight (27.63 g), head girth (12.80 cm), yield per plant (388.45 g), yield per hectare (280.63 q ha-1), chlorophyll content (47.33), vitamin-c (40.19), firmness (2.50), shelf life (8 days), plant uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (158.09, 71.37 and 127.94 kg ha-1) was recorded at 125% RDF. However, higher net returns (Rs. 10,26,435 /-) and higher cost benefit ratio (3.07) were recorded in 45 cm × 22.5 cm spacing + 125 % RDF.
