Development of novel approaches for assuring the quality of vegetables depends on a better understanding of the influence of preharvest factors, vegetable physiology and other functional components as affected by storage and handling. The objectives of this research includes different aspects: a) to reduce nitrate accumulation in lettuce crop cultivated in hydroponic system, b) to determine the influence of type nitrogen application in a field lettuce crop on the quality of fresh cut produce according to sowing date and genotype used, and c) to evaluate different calcium treatments as a technology to enhance the storage life of the produce.[...]
