Two beneficial microorganisms, namely mycorrhiza (Glomus spp.) and Trichoderma harzianum stain KRL-AG2 and their combination (mycorrhiza + T. harzianum) were tested comparing with the control (no treatment). Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) plants were grown between 14.11.2016 and 02.03.2017 in an unheated greenhouse with a plant density of 5.7 plant m-2. At the end of the growing period, yield and head quality parameters such lettuce size, color, vitamin C and nitrate contents were determined. The results showed that cultivar 'Patagonia' gave the highest yield (2.18 kg m-2) and highest head size (366.16 g m-2), however among the tested microorganisms, mycorrhiza had higher performance as beneficial microorganism compared with the other treatments. © 2020 International Society for Horticultural Science.
