El Gazar T.M.
Lettuce plants of the cv. Balady were treated with complete fertilizer program included NPK levels of 100 and 150 kg fertilizer units per feddan at five ratios (1:1:1, 2:1:1, 2:2:1, 3:1:1 and 3:2:1). The experiments were conducted at the Experimental Station Farm of Agriculture College, Mansoura University, during the winter seasons of 1985/1986 and 1986/ 1987. The results indicated that the NPK level of 150 kg was more favourable than the other level tested concerning number of wrapper leaves/plant, weight of mid-ribs/ plant, stem length, leaf area/plant and total yield/ plot. The NPK ratio of 3:1:1 resulted in the highest number of wrapper leaves/plant, weight of midribs/plant, stem length, leaf area/plant and total yield and the differences were significant in both seasons. NPK level of 150 kg fertilizer units/feddan at the ratio of 3:1:1 resulted in the highest total yield with good quality.
