ResumoO objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o plantio direto de alface americana no verão sobre plantas de cobertura dessecadas ou roçadas em cultivos sucessivos. O trabalho foi desenvolvido no município de Álvares Machado, São Paulo, Brasil. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos ao acaso, dispostos em parcelas subdivididas, com quatro repetições. O fator da parcela principal foram dois manejos das plantas de cobertura (dessecadas com herbicida ou roçadas) e as subparcelas, seis espécies de plantas de cobertura (Cajanus cajan cv. IAPAR 43, Crotalaria spectabilis, Crotalaria juncea, Mucuna pruriens, Pennisetum glaucum e vegetação natural), além da testemunha sem plantas de cobertura. O manejo roçado apresentou desempenho inferior no primeiro cultivo da alface, todavia não diferiu do manejo químico no segundo cultivo. A cobertura do solo com mucuna apresentou maior produtividade da alface no primeiro cultivo devido ao excesso de palha das demais coberturas, o qual prejudicou o estabelecimento da alface. No segundo cultivo não houve diferenças entre as coberturas. A roçagem de plantas de cobertura é uma opção viável para plantio direto de alface sem herbicidas.Palavras-chave: agricultura orgânica, Crotalaria juncea, Lactuca sativa, milheto, Mucuna aterrima. No-tillage of crisphead lettuce on cover crops desiccated or mowed AbstractThe objective of this work was to evaluate no-tillage of lettuce in the summer on cover crops desiccated or mowed in successive crops. The experiment was carried out in Álvares Machado, São Paulo, Brasil. The experimental design was randomized complete block with four replications. The treatments were arranged in a split plot design, with managements of cover crops the main plot (desiccated with herbicides or mowing) and the cover crops represented the subplots (Cajanus cajan cv. IAPAR 43, Crotalaria spectabilis, Crotalaria juncea, Mucuna pruriens, Pennisetum glaucum and natural vegetation). Additionally a control without cover crops was evaluate. In the first crop the mowed management presented lower lettuce yield performance, however no differences was observed in the second crop. In the first crop, the lettuce yield was higher in the velvet bean cover. It is due to excess of straw from other cover crops that harmed the establishment of lettuce. In the second crop, no differences were observed between cover crops. The mowing of cover crops is a viable option for lettuce production without herbicides.
