Lettuce is a popular salad vegetable in European countries. In India its demand is also increasing. It is not possible to grow salad vegetables under open environmental conditions due to vagaries of weather. The state government in Himachal Pradesh (India) is promoting polyhouse cultivation in a very big way. But the lack of suitable cultivars under polyhouse conditions is the biggest challenge to the growers of the hilly state. Therefore, in the present study seven genotypes of lettuce viz. Red Butter Head (G1), Ice-berg (G2), Revolution (G3), Dublin (G4), Garishma (G5), Bergamo (G6) and Green Romaine (G7) were evaluated in a 36 x 6 m modified naturally ventilated polyhouse having fan pad system. Maximum gross weight (826.6 g/plant) was recorded in G2 which was statistically at par with G4 (791.6 g/plant). Minimum gross weight per plant was found in G7 (18836 g). Maximum net weight/plant was recorded in G7 (631.3 g) which was statistically at par with G2 (578.3 g), G4 (583.6 g), G5 (458.6 g) and G6 (480.3 g). Lettuce genotypes also varied in quality parameters viz. chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll, starch, reducing, non-reducing and total sugars and sodium content.Keywords

A field experiment was conducted in randomized block design (RBD) during Kharif season 2018-2019 to evaluate the effect of inorganic, organic and Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF) on fifteen selected genotypes of adzuki bean for growth parameters. Significant differences in the plant height, number of branches, pods per plant, seeds per pod and seed yield were obtained in genotypes as well as different production systems (inorganic, organic and Zero Budget Natural Farming), whereas no significant difference were obtained in pod length. Simultaneously interaction effect was significant for plant height and seed yield whereas, there were no significant interaction obtained for number of branches per plant, number of pods, seeds per pod and pod length. The overall finding of this study indicated that Zero Budget Natural Farming production system can be used to achieve better growth and yield of adzuki bean.Keywords
