Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety forms a large, dense head of rounded-flat shape with dark green leaves. The mass of one head is 600 g and more.

The plant possesses high resistance to bolting, leaf tip burn, and hot weather conditions. Resistant to downy mildew, however, it shows susceptibility to Fusarium wilt under artificial inoculation conditions.

The variety is for universal use, suitable for the fresh market and industrial processing. Recommended for cultivation in open field, optimal for hot climates.
