The aim of the research work is to determine the impact of the variety and methods of production to the number of leaves per head of lettuce. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design with four replications. In the first year the maximum number of leaves was achieved on agro- textile (69.16), at a minimal control (51.29), while in the second year, the maximum number of leaves has been achieved with a combination of black PE foil and agro-textile (49.08) and minimum the control (35.81). In both years, regardless of the mode of production variety Archimeds RZ form the largest number of leaves per head.Cilj istraživanja u radu je određivanje uticaja sorte i načina proizvodnje na broj listova u glavici salate. Ogled je sproveden po slučajnom blok sistemu u četiri ponavljanja. U prvoj godini istraživanja maksimalan broj listova zabilježen je na agrotekstilu (69,16), а minimalan na kontroli (51,29), dok je u drugoj godini istraživanja maksimalan broj listova postignut sa kombinacijom crne PE folije i agrotekstila (49,08), a minimalan na kontrolnoj varijanti (35,81). U obje godine istraživanja neovisno od načina proizvodnje sorta Archimeds RZ formira najveći broj listova u glavici
