Lettuce has highlight as an important crop for human consumption, to having good flavor and important nutritional characteristics and potassium is one of the main nutrients that crop. This work aimed to evaluate the influence of potassium in morphological and physiological lettuce responses in South of Tocantins State. The experimental design was randomized block in factorial scheme of 4 x 6 with three replications. Four levels were evaluated of K2O: 0; 100; 200 and 300 kg ha-1 in six development stages: 15; 22; 29; 36; 43 and 50 days after emergency. Was determine the specific leaf area, net assimilation rate, relative growth rate and abso-lute growth rate, as well as the leaf, stem and root weight. During the duration of the experiment occurred high temperatures that caused a physiological disorder known as tipburn, which compromises calcium uptake by the plant. The potassium levels did not influence the morphological and physiological responses of lettuce as well did not significant differences among levels for leaf, stem and root weight. The partition of assimilates in the plants was influenced by crop management whit significant variation among evaluation times.
