Lecture - 13: LETTUCE |
|
Objective: Lettuce is the most popular of the salad crops. In India it is yet to gain popularity though it is grown in many parts as a culinary vegetable. It is rich in minerals especially iron and vitamins. In the cell sap, only a very slight proportion of iron exists and this is also entirely precipitated by boiling. Its seeds are cooling, demulcent and refrigerant, while its leaves are slightly hypnotic and sedative. The present chapter will make the students aware regarding its production technology, importance, seed production techniques and plant protection measures. |
