Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety forms medium to large, flat-round heads with a reliable closed base. The plant is intended for cultivation during the late spring, summer, and autumn periods in open field conditions.

A distinctive feature of the variety is the Knox technology, which slows down the process of leaf browning and pinking after harvest, extending the shelf life of the produce. Due to this property, the variety is in demand in the retail and processing segments.

The variety possesses high resistance to biotypes 0 and 1 of the lettuce aphid (Nasonovia ribis-nigri). This makes it suitable for use in organic farming, where the application of chemical plant protection products is limited.
