EVIONAS is a new variety of head iceberg lettuce, developed by Rijk Zwaan and intended for cultivation during the summer and autumn periods. This variety is ideal for open ground and is characterized by high adaptability to various growing conditions, allowing for a quality harvest throughout the season. EVIONAS lettuce is characterized by a medium-sized head with a slightly flat shape, which is convenient for cutting and packaging whole heads.
A feature of the variety is the slow filling of the head, thanks to which it retains a loose structure for a long time. This quality makes the lettuce especially attractive to consumers who value a crunchy texture and product freshness. In addition, the variety has high resistance to the development of necroses, which contributes to maintaining the marketable appearance and extending the shelf life. An important advantage is also the resistance to juice oxidation on the stump and during cutting, which prevents darkening and deterioration of the lettuce's appearance.
EVIONAS lettuce is recommended for market production and is widely used for cutting and packaging whole heads. Thanks to its characteristics, it is suitable for both summer and autumn plantings, providing a stable and quality harvest. This variety combines high moisture content and a brittle structure, making it a sought-after choice among producers and consumers striving for freshness and product quality.
