Taoyuan No. 3: New high-yield lettuce for subtropical regions

A new high-yielding lettuce cultivar for subtropical regions was developed by introducing the high growth rate trait from romaine lettuce 'Jhih Li Wo' into high-yielding Batavia lettuce 'Fu San'. Researchers analyzed temperature and day length on days to harvest for maximum marketable yield (DMMY) for nine lettuce cultivars. Temperature affected DMMY the most and the relative contributions of temperature and day length to DMMY differed with cultivar.
