ABSTRACT / САЖЕТАК:
Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) indoor cultivation during the winter is mainly influenced by low light intensities. Also, its production is significantly affected by tillage techniques. Therefore, our research aimed to investigate the impact of applied light treatments during the seedling stage and applied tillage treatments after plant transplanting on the Viola lettuce genotype. Applied light and tillage treatments significantly influenced shoot weight, while the root weight and the total chlorophyll content varied depending on the light treatment. Tillage treatment did not affect shoot weight and the total chlorophyll content, but significantly influenced soluble sugar content.
