Larsen lettuce is a medium-early type 'Iceberg' variety intended for cultivation in open ground. The vegetative period is approximately 70-80 days, allowing harvest in spring, summer, and autumn. Heads form quickly and uniformly, with a beautiful green color, dense structure, and can reach a weight of up to 900 grams. The lettuce leaves are juicy, crisp, with slightly wavy edges, giving them an attractive appearance and excellent taste.
The Larsen variety shows good resistance to false powdery mildew and is not prone to bolting, enhancing its reliability during cultivation. Seeds begin to germinate at a soil temperature of +4°C, and seedlings are recommended to be transplanted to their permanent location at intervals of 30x30 cm. For successful growth, lettuce requires sufficient light and does not develop well in shade. Due to its dense head structure, this variety withstands transportation well, making it convenient for commercial cultivation and sales.
Larsen lettuce is ideal for fresh consumption, thanks to its excellent taste and crisp texture. Seeds of this variety are produced by Moravo seeds (Czech Republic) and packaged in 0.3 grams, which corresponds to approximately 75-85 seeds per package. This variety is an excellent choice for gardeners and farmers seeking high-quality, tasty lettuce with good yield.
