Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) is an annual plant from the Asteraceae family that is grown directly or by seedlings. Lettuce leaves are rich in vitamins and minerals and have a positive effect on kidney and heart function. Celery (Apium graveolens L.) is a two-year-old plant that belongs to the Apiaceae family, and is grown from seedlings and has many positive effects on the human body. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of planting type on the work performance and planting quality of lettuce and celery seedlings. Measurements were taken at Novi Čiče in Zagreb County. The distance between seedlings in a row was measured ten meters in length, and the measurement was performed in three replicates. The salad is planted with a four-row planter and the celery three-row. The smallest deviation from the set gap when planting with a four-row planter was measured at a speed of 0.69 km/h and the highest at a speed of 0.94 km/h. A minimum distance of 21 cm was measured at a speed of 0.94 km/h and a maximum distance of 31 cm at a speed of 1.23 km/h. When planting with a three-row planter, the smallest deviation from the set distance was measured at a speed of 1.32 km/h, and at this speed it is also the smallest standard deviation. The maximum distance between the seedlings in the row was 36 cm, measured at speeds of 0.98 km/h and 0.77 km/h. The minimum distance between the seedlings in the row was 26 cm at a speed of 1.32 km/h. Lower tractor speeds contribute to more uniform planting of seedlings within the row.
