Modification of yield and chlorophyll content in leaf lettuce by HPS radiation and nitrogen treatments.

This study evaluated the potential of high photosynthetic photon flux (PPF) from high-pressure sodium (HPS) lamps, alone or in combination with metal halide (MH) plus quartz iodide (QI) incandescent lamps, to support lettuce growth, with or without N supplementation. Varying exposures to radiation from combined HPS, MH, and QI lamps influenced dry weight gain and photosynthetic pigment content...

Identification of pesticide residue level in lettuce based on hyperspectra and chlorophyll fluorescence spectra

Fast identification of pesticide residue level in lettuce leaves plays a key role in the test of food safety. In order to identify the different concentrations pesticide residues of lettuce leaves in a fast and nondestructive way, the hyperspectra coupled with chlorophyll fluorescence spectra was used in this research. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to identify the microstructu...

Lettuce Production in California

Background In the early 20 century, California produced only little lettuce . For 1909, Knott and Tavernetti [4] reported that lettuce was produced on 595 acres in California, which corresponded to 11% of the total U.S. acreage. Lettuce production increased dramatically in the 1920s (Figure 1). While 6,100 acres were harvested in 1919 , the harvested area reached 112,000 acres by 1930 . The mar...
