Maugli lettuce is a mid-early type 'Iceberg' variety with a cultivation period from sowing to harvest of 77-87 days. This variety is cultivated in open ground and is suitable for spring, summer, and autumn harvests. The Maugli head is large, firm, oily, dark green in color, and well-covered with leaves. The leaves are juicy, crisp, and have a slightly sweet taste, making the lettuce especially appealing to consumers.
The variety is characterized by high resistance to false powdery mildew, bolting, and mold, ensuring stable yields and product quality. Maugli exhibits uniform and synchronized head maturity, as well as excellent appearance. The first harvest, or thinning, is conducted on the 35-40th day after sowing, and remaining plants are harvested as they reach marketable size.
Maugli lettuce is recommended for use in fresh markets, including restaurants and fast food establishments, as well as for the food processing industry. For optimal growth and development, plants should be spaced 30 cm apart, which promotes the formation of large, high-quality heads.
