Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant forms a stable semi-heading cylindrical core with strong, dense leaf veins, which facilitates packaging. The variety is intended for early harvest and is recommended primarily for cultivation during the cool season.

The variety possesses high resistance to downy mildew races 29–40EU, lettuce aphid, and internal necrosis. It shows resistance to tip burn and bolting. The genetic Knox technology slows the browning and pinking of sap at leaf cuts, extending the shelf life of the produce.

The variety is universal and suitable for sale on the fresh market, industrial processing in salad mixes, and use in the food service sector.
