Othilie

Othilie lettuce is an early leaf lettuce variety of Batavia type, developed by the Dutch breeding company Rijk Zwaan. This variety features light green leaves and is suitable for cultivation both in open ground and in protected environments. The optimal planting time in open ground is during summer, while in protected environments it is autumn, winter, and spring. The vegetative period is 40-45 days, allowing for a quick harvest.

One of the key features of the Othilie variety is its high resistance to unfavorable growing conditions. The plant retains its ability to form leaf mass even under water deficiency and high solar activity. Additionally, the variety shows resistance to diseases such as downy mildew, mosaic virus, necroses, and leaf discoloration, significantly reducing the risk of crop loss and improving its quality.

Due to its characteristics, Othilie lettuce is ideal for fresh markets and can be used in various salad lines. Its versatility and resilience make this variety an attractive choice for farmers and gardeners seeking a stable and high-quality harvest under various climatic conditions.
