| Abstract:
Two softleaved cultivars (Atrakcija and Meraviglia delle Quattro Stagioni) gave the same yield but 18 days earlier at transplanting than at direct sowing. These two cultivars had lower yield than the crisp-leaved lettuce cultivars Ljubljanska Ledenka and Great Lakes at transplanting and at direct sowing. At transplanting cv. Ljubljanska Ledenka and cv. Great Lakes gave the yield 19 days earlier in comparison with the direct sowing. Transplanted soft-leaved lettuce developed the heads 28 days earlier than directly-sown crisp-leaved lettuce. | |
