Zusammenfassung:The performance of lettuce in sole and intercropped with green manures was assessed under different establishment times. The lettuce fresh and dry weight, number of leaves per plant, diameter and length of head, and fresh and dry weight of green manure were evaluated. The intercropping design was additive and both cash and cover crops were planted in rows. The experimental design was of randomized complete blocks in split plot scheme, with six replicates. The plots represented the green manure sowing days (0, 20, 40 and 60 before transplanting of lettuce), and the sub-plots were assigned by cropping systems (lettuce in sole crop and intercropped with black oat, cowpea or white lupin). Simultaneous planting in the intercropping did not affect the lettuce performance. However, when the green manures were sown before lettuce, they influenced it in a negative way. Among the green manures, cowpea increased biomass and had a higher negative effect on lettuce performance compared to white lupin, which appeared to produce less competition. The sole crop and the intercropping with simultaneous planting of the green manures resulted in a better lettuce performance. Foi avaliado o efeito de adubos verdes semeados em diferentes épocas, sobre o desempenho da alface consorciada. Avaliou-se os pesos fresco e seco, número de folhas por planta, diâmetro e comprimento da cabeça da alface. Dos adubos verdes avaliaram-se o peso fresco e seco. O consórcio foi implantado em esquema aditivo e tanto alface quanto os adubos verdes foram plantados em linha. Utilizou-se delineamento experimental de blocos ao acaso, com parcelas subdivididas e seis repetições. As parcelas foram representadas pelo tempo de semeadura dos adubos verdes em relação ao transplante da alface (0, 20, 40 e 60 dias) e as subparcelas foram representadas pelos sistemas de cultivo (alface solteira, e alface consorciada com aveia-preta, caupi ou tremoço-branco). O plantio simultâneo não influenciou o desempenho da alface. No entanto, quando os adubos verdes foram semeados antes do estabelecimento do consórcio, estes influenciaram negativamente o desempenho da hortaliça. Entre os adubos verdes, o caupi teve maior biomassa e maior efeito negativo no desempenho da alface do que o tremoço-branco que se mostrou menos competidor. O cultivo solteiro e o cultivo consorciado com plantio simultâneo dos adubos verdes resulta em melhor desempenho da alface.
