- Intervention effect At low temperature, effective quantum yield of PSII, net photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance were highest at 350 μmol m-2 s-1, followed by 500 μmol m-2 s-1.
- Intervention effect At low temperature, transpiration rate was highest at 350 μmol m-2 s-1, followed by 500 μmol m-2 s-1.
- Intervention effect At low temperature, N, K and P uptake were highest at 350 μmol m-2 s-1, followed by 500 μmol m-2 s-1.
- Association At low temperature, 350 μmol m-2 s-1 (followed by 500) gave higher leaf number, leaf area, dry weight and fresh weight of lettuce.
- Intervention effect At medium temperature, photosystem II quantum yield, net photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance were higher at 350, 500 and 600 μmol m-2 s-1 than at other light intensities.
- Intervention effect At medium temperature, transpiration rate was higher at 350, 500 and 600 μmol m-2 s-1 than at other light intensities.
- Intervention effect At medium temperature, N, K and P uptake were higher at 350, 500 and 600 μmol m-2 s-1 than at other light intensities.
- Intervention effect At medium temperature, leaf number, leaf area and fresh weight of lettuce were highest at 500 μmol m-2 s-1.
- Intervention effect At medium temperature, dry weight of lettuce was highest at 600 μmol m-2 s-1.
- Intervention effect At high temperature, Fv/Fm, photosystem II quantum yield and net photosynthetic rate were highest at 500 μmol m-2 s-1.
- Intervention effect At high temperature, stomatal conductance and transpiration rate were highest at 500 μmol m-2 s-1.
- Intervention effect At high temperature, N, K and P uptake were highest at 500 μmol m-2 s-1.
- Intervention effect At high temperature, leaf number, leaf area and fresh weight of lettuce were highest at 600 μmol m-2 s-1.
- Intervention effect At high temperature, dry weight of lettuce was highest at 600 μmol m-2 s-1.
- 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 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.
