Thirty -five days after transplantation , yield components and quality of lettuce cultivars were analyzed . The experimental design was in blocks, randomized , seven corresponding to lettuce cultivars treatments : American Winslow ; Wonder 4 Seasons Purple Butter ; Mimosa Red Salad Bowl ; Scarlat ; Wonder Summer Butter , Elba , and Grad Rapids TBR , in four replications .
