    Mulch and Row Cover affect Lettuce Production in High Tunnels

Abstract

With growing demand for fresh and locally grown vegetables, growers are capitalizing on techniques such as the use of high tunnelsfor season extension. After a long duration crop such as tomato, planting a quick turnaround crop in high tunnels is a viable option to continue production and increase profitability. High tunnels are an excellent resource for early spring and late fall production of leafy vegetables such as lettuce.
