The NAMUR lettuce is a mid-early loose leaf lettuce of the Lollo Bionda type, maturing 43-51 days after seedling transplanting. The plant has a compact and convenient head for harvesting and packaging, weighing between 300 and 400 grams, which makes it ideal for commercial cultivation and marketing. Due to its structure and size, the lettuce is easy to process and use fresh.
One of the key features of the NAMUR lettuce is its high shade tolerance, which allows it to be successfully grown in conditions with limited lighting. This quality makes the variety versatile for different seasons, including winter, spring, and autumn, ensuring a stable yield throughout the year. Furthermore, the variety is characterized by high productivity, which is an important advantage for farmers and gardeners.
NAMUR also possesses high resistance to a wide range of diseases, including Tomato yellow leaf curl virus, Verticillium dahliae and V. albo-atrum, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici, Cladosporium fulvum and a complex of Meloidogyne species. Such resistance significantly reduces the risk of yield loss and reduces the need for the application of chemical plant protection agents. Thanks to these characteristics, NAMUR lettuce is suitable for cultivation in various climatic conditions and is a reliable choice for obtaining a high-quality and healthy product.
