Lisboa salad is a type of Lollo Bionda variety, distinguished by its intense green leaf color and medium-sized heads with a proper round shape. This variety is intended for cultivation from spring to autumn, both in open ground and in plastic greenhouses, making it versatile for various climatic conditions. Lisboa is suitable for organic production, which is especially important for consumers oriented towards ecologically clean products.
Lisboa salad plants are well-balanced and exhibit high field resistance, ensuring resilience to adverse growing conditions. The variety shows very high resistance to leaf diseases, bolting, and necrosis, confirmed by resistance profiles Bl:16-37EU/Nr:0/Pb and additional HR and IR resistance to various pathogens. Thanks to these characteristics, Lisboa is a reliable choice for farmers and gardeners aiming to obtain a high-quality and healthy harvest.

For planting, it is recommended to use seedling trays, after which the developed seedlings with a well-formed root system and several true leaves are transplanted to their permanent location. Lisboa salad is widely used in the fresh produce market and is ideal for preparing salad mixes, thanks to its compact rosette and attractive leaf appearance.
