Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a Lollo Bionda type leaf lettuce with white seeds. It is characterized by high processability for “cut lettuce” production, where the plant separates into individual leaves after a single cut.

The plant possesses resistance to powdery mildew (races BL 1–23, 25), Pb, and lettuce mosaic virus (LMV). The variety is suitable for all-season cultivation and is oriented towards both fresh consumption and the professional processing sector.
