Keona lettuce is a dark green romaine variety with a semi-open rosette, specifically adapted for open-field cultivation. It is distinguished by its high resistance to extreme summer conditions, making it a reliable choice for regions with hot climates. The lettuce leaves are dense, wide, and dark green, ensuring an attractive appearance and high-quality produce.
One of the key features of the Keona variety is its resistance to leaf curling and very high resistance to bolting, which significantly extends the usage period and improves market qualities. The vertical rosette and flat leaf veins make this variety suitable for mechanical harvesting, as well as convenient for packaging whole plants and for cutting, which is especially important for commercial cultivation and restaurant use.
Keona lettuce is widely used both in open and protected ground, allowing it to be grown in various climatic conditions. Its dense and crisp head with a neutral flavor makes this variety in demand for packaging, cutting, and serving in restaurants. The variety is included in the state register of breeding achievements, confirming its quality and yield stability.
