Abstract

Characteristics of three cabbage lettuce cultivars were evaluated on different types of ground cover in the winter-spring period, an experiment was conducted between July and October 2019 in the district of Coronel Oviedo, Paraguay. The experimental design used was a randomized complete block design with a 3 x 4 factorial arrangement, totaling 12 treatments with four replications. The factors under study were three cultivars of iceberg lettuce (Tainá, Julia, and Legacy) and four types of ground cover (black plastic, white/black bicolor plastic, silver/black bicolor plastic, and control without ground cover). The variables evaluated were total and commercial number of leaves, total and commercial fresh mass, height, and head diameter. The results indicate that there were no significant differences between cultivars in the evaluated characteristics. Likewise, the use of plastic soil cover allows for improving the productive characteristics of the evaluated iceberg lettuce cultivars.
