The ESTONIA lettuce is an early-leaf variety of the Batavia type, bred by the Dutch company Enza Zaden, intended for cultivation in open and protected ground. The plant forms a large semi-erect rosette up to 30 cm high and 35 cm in diameter, with ruffled leaves of bright green color. The mass of one plant reaches about 310 grams, which ensures a high yield of up to 3.0 kg per square meter. The lettuce is distinguished by excellent marketable appearance and good transportability, making it in demand for the fresh produce market.
The leaves of ESTONIA lettuce have a crunchy texture and high taste qualities without bitterness, making this variety ideal for fresh consumption, salad preparation, and dish garnishing. The early maturity of the variety allows it to be grown in late spring, summer, and early autumn, ensuring a stable yield in different seasons. The variety is resistant to bolting and marginal burn, which improves the quality and appearance of the product.
Special attention is paid to the variety's resistance to unfavorable weather conditions and pests: ESTONIA lettuce shows resistance to downy mildew and leaf lettuce aphid. This allows it to be grown both in open ground and in greenhouses, ensuring stability and reliability of the yield. Thanks to its characteristics and universal application, ESTONIA lettuce is an excellent choice for farmers and lovers of fresh greens.
