e0“for producing the lettuce Lactuca sativa L”
e1“at a low temperature, the values of effective quantum yield of photosystem II photochemistry (Φ PSII ), net photosynthetic rate ( P n ), stomatal conductance ( g S ), and transpiration rate ( T r ) —as well as those of N, K, and P uptake—were the highest at 350 μmol·m −2 ·s −1”
e2“followed by 500 μmol·m −2 ·s −1 , which resulted in higher values for leaf number (LN), leaf area (LA), dry weight (DW), and fresh weight (FW)”

- Observation Fv/Fm indicated that lettuce was under stress at 600 μmol m-2 s-1 at low temperature.
- Observation Fv/Fm indicated that lettuce was under stress at 100 μmol m-2 s-1 at medium temperature.
- Observation Fv/Fm indicated that lettuce was under stress at 100-350 μmol m-2 s-1 at high temperature.
- Recommendation For low temperatures, light intensities of 350 to 500 μmol m-2 s-1 are recommended for production, with 350 optimal as supplementary greenhouse light in early spring and winter.
- Recommendation For medium temperatures, light intensities of 350 to 600 μmol m-2 s-1 are recommended, with 500 optimal in mid spring and autumn.
- Recommendation For high temperatures, light intensities of 500 to 600 μmol m-2 s-1 are recommended, with 600 optimal in late spring and early autumn.
