Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety Espirando belongs to butterhead lettuces. The plant is of medium or large size, forming a dense, well-developed rosette with fresh-green leaves. The variety has a closed base, which facilitates product cleaning, and tolerates trimming well.

The plant belongs to the long-day type and is suitable for cultivation in spring, summer, and autumn periods. The variety is intended for the fresh market and can be cultivated in greenhouses, open field, or hydroponics.

The variety is characterized by high resistance to downy mildew (races Bl:29-35, 37, 38, 40, 41EU) and lettuce aphid (Nr:0). High resistance to physiological disorders, such as internal tip burn and leaf yellowing, has also been noted.
