Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety forms a tightly closed cylindrical head with smooth veins on the leaves. The product is characterized by a crunchy texture and high resistance to tip burn and internal necrosis.

The plant possesses the Knox™ genetic trait, which slows down the browning of leaf cuts, thereby extending shelf life. The variety exhibits resistance to powdery mildew and a number of other pathogens (Bl:29-41EU/Fol:1/Nr:0), as well as high resistance to bolting.

The crop is intended for cultivation in the open field during the spring-autumn period. Due to its compact size and leaf properties, the variety is suitable for processing and use as snack salads.
