and yield. Several studies mention that in many species, there is a high correlation between SPAD value and extractable chlorophyll content (Le6n et al., 2007). The highest SPAD values were measured for iceberg lettuce (‘Great Lakes 659’) and cos-lettuce (‘Romaine lettuce’), and these genotypes also had the most intense green colour (Figure 12). There was no statistically significant difference between the two types. The lowest SPAD value was measured by the ‘Lollo Bionda’. Son & Oh (2013) have measured a higher SPAD value by the red leaf type “Sunmang’ (more than 20 SPAD value) compared to the green leaf type ’Grand Rapid TBR’ (less than 20) under various combinations of red and blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
