Variety description

10 August 2026

The Icarus variety is classified as a romaine lettuce. It belongs to a specialized breeding series aimed at preserving the marketability of produce by increasing resistance to “pink discoloration” (slow pinking) of tissues after harvest.

Detailed agronomic characteristics, including vegetation periods, head weight, or specific pathogen resistance, are not available in open publications, as the variety is intended for professional use.
