- Intervention effect Water deficit reduced lettuce plant fresh weight, plant height and leaf area compared with well-watered plants.
- Intervention effect Water deficit reduced lettuce total yield, chlorophyll content and relative water content compared with well-watered plants.
- Intervention effect Water deficit increased total soluble solids, nitrate and proline contents in lettuce.
- Intervention effect Water deficit increased water-use efficiency of lettuce.
- Intervention effect Foliar chitosan had the maximum positive effect on lettuce among the treatments.
- Intervention effect Foliar chitosan or glycine betaine improved lettuce yield and quality under both irrigation regimes.
- Intervention effect Foliar chitosan or glycine betaine increased lettuce water use efficiency under both irrigation regimes.
- Intervention effect Foliar chitosan or glycine betaine may be more efficient in lettuce under water deficit.
