Optimized fertilizer and fertigation program is of great importance for a quality production in lettuce cultivation. Reducing the excessive use of chemical fertilizers and using alternative products for sustainable use of agricultural resources is an effective way for the renewability of our natural resources. In this regard, the effect of 'K-Feldspar' mineral, which is a natural potassium source, on yield and quality was investigated in order to reduce the use of potassium chemical fertilizers used as macronutrients in Iceberk lettuce (Mira variety) cultivation. The experiment was planned according to the random parcel design with three replications and 12 plants in each replicate by forming the combinations of Control, Chemical fertilizer, Feldspar (500, 1000 and 1500 kg/da) and Chemical fertilizer+Feldspar (500, 1000, 1500 kg/da F + Plant height (cm), plant diameter (cm), stem diameter (mm), chlorophyll content, yield (kg/da), head weight (g), sçkm (brix), number of waste leaves (pcs), waste leaf weight (g), fresh and dry leaf weight (g) were analyzed. As a result, 1500 kg/da Feldspar + chemical fertilizer application had a positive effect on both yield and quality parameters. While only K-Feldspar treatments were more effective on plant height compared to the other treatments, chlorophyll measurements, which are important in terms of plant photosynthesis production, were positively affected in 1000 kg/da feldspar+chemical fertilizer combination compared to the other treatments. .
