Krutynskyi

Salad "Krutynskyi" — this variety was registered in 2017 by scientists from the research station "Mayak" in the village of Kruty, Chernihiv region. It is characterized by high yield, approximately 9.5 tons per hectare. The variety is resistant to such diseases as white and gray rot, powdery mildew, downy mildew, and viral mosaic, making it a reliable choice for cultivation in the Polissia and Forest-Steppe regions.

For successful cultivation of salad "Krutynskyi", seeds should be sown in open ground in April-May for early varieties, and mid- to late-maturing varieties — from April to the second half of June. Early-maturing varieties are also suitable for late autumn sowing at the end of October or beginning of November. The plant requires a large amount of sunlight, which can be either bright or diffused. The soil should be fertile, loose, moderately moist, with high humus content; the best soils are loamy, chernozem, or carbonate soils with pH level 6.0-7.0.

Salad is watered on average once every 7 days, preferably in the evening or morning, and watering is reduced during head formation. On hot days, watering is recommended at night. The salad does not require additional fertilization, as all necessary nutrients are incorporated into the soil during field preparation. Main pests include salad flies, stem salad aphids, white-striped beetles, and slugs; therefore, preventive measures are essential for protecting the plants.
