Abstract: The field experiment was carried out with different potassium rates on lettuce to study the effect on its yield and quality. Results showed that there was the well-simulated mathematical model between lettuce yield and ptassium rate: Y=-0.0389X2+29.904X+21994, moreover potassium increased Vitamin C content and improved quality, but total calcium in lettuce readuced when potassium inreased. to sum up, the preferable potassium rate was 240 kg/hm2.

Key words: Potassium, Lettuce, Yield, Quality
