Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during Rabi 2016-17 at Experimental Farm of Division of Vegetable Science SKUAST-K Shalimar Campus, to study role of organic manures and bio-fertilizers on quality and leaf yield of lettuce. The experiment was laid out in RCBD with inorganic fertilizers, three types of both organic manures and bio-fertilizers constituting 13 treatments combinations in all.The investigation revealed that the treatment T9, (60 kg N ha-1 + 45 kg P ha-1+ 30 kg K ha-1+ Vermicompost (4 t ha-1) + Biofertilizers @ 7.5 l haÂÂ-1) recorded higher values for quality parameters viz., dry matter content (10.17 %), Vitamin C (37.48 mg 100 g-1), total chlorophyll content (18.85 mg 100 g-1) and total carotenoids (4.26 mg 100 g-1) and leaf yield (23.83 t ha-1).
