Lettuce Observations at Vudal Agricultural College, New Britain.

Abstract

Lettuce trials in wet tropical lowland at Vudal Agricultural College in 1966 showed the variety Pennlake to be outstanding in setting firm heads and not bolting to seed. Direct seeding was a failure compared with nursery seeding and transplanting. Shading of transplants with trash covers in a traditional gardening manner was not necessary and seriously retarded the crop.
