Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is professional and widely used as a reference sample when testing for resistance to downy mildew (Bremia lactucae). Due to its high resistance to the pathogen, the variety is used in breeding programs to transfer resistance genes.

Intended for industrial cultivation and sale on the fresh produce market. Detailed morphological characteristics of the plant, such as leaf shape or head density, are absent in open technical protocols, as the variety is considered primarily in the context of pathological resistance.
