Lettuce is one of the most in-demand vegetable crops, requiring strict adherence to agrotechnological standards to obtain a high-quality harvest. Successful cultivation of this crop, both in open ground and in a greenhouse, depends on proper substrate preparation, adjustment of microclimate parameters, competent crop rotation, and a mineral nutrition system. For agronomists and gardeners, it is important not only to master basic methods of growing leaf and head forms but also to be able to timely recognize threats that can lead to significant losses of produce.
This compilation brings together materials dedicated to key aspects of working with lettuce and related leafy greens. The articles examine in detail cultivation technologies, maintenance features, and nutrition schemes, as well as covering issues of phytosanitary control in depth. Readers will find information on diagnostic methods for viral infections, causes of leaf necrosis development, and ways to combat common diseases in greenhouse conditions. Studying the presented recommendations will allow for systematizing knowledge about agrotechnics and developing an effective strategy for plant protection against pathogens and pests.
