Endive MILADI

The French standard for the lettuce conveyor

The 'Milady' endive from the Clause breeders is a proven solution for professional farmers focused on supplying high-quality leafy greens to the HoReCa segment and retail chains. The main task of this variety is to provide the market with marketable produce featuring a dense, attractive rosette when grown in open fields.

Agronomic potential and field scenarios

In open field conditions, 'Milady' demonstrates excellent uniformity. The 25–35 cm diameter rosette has an optimal habit for mechanical or manual harvesting. Due to its structure, this endive is less susceptible to damage during transport, which is critical for maintaining marketability from field to shelf.

• Culinary application: Its main niche is the creation of premium salad mixes. The leaf has a pleasant texture and the signature freshness of endive, making it an indispensable component for side dishes accompanying meat and fish.
• Cultivation technology: The variety is responsive to intensive cultivation techniques. When planning conveyor production, 'Milady' allows for precise maturation timelines, simplifying harvest logistics.

Choosing seeds from Clause for commercial production means working with genetically stable material. 'Milady' does not require specific conditions, adapting to standard endive cultivation practices, which minimizes the risk of crop loss due to management errors.
