The Seladon salad is a mid-ripening variety of oily multi-leaf lettuce with green leaves, designed for industrial cultivation both in open ground and in greenhouses. The leaf rosette reaches a height of 13 cm and a diameter of 17 cm, while the average weight of one plant with a pot is about 180 grams. This variety is characterized by resistance to edge burn, which enhances its marketability and product quality. The marketable shelf life is 50-55 days from sowing, allowing for effective planning of harvest collection during the spring-summer and summer-autumn periods.
Seladon salad has tender and crispy leaves that impart a special freshness and pleasant taste to dishes. Thanks to its oily texture and rich green color, it is excellent for preparing fresh salads and various culinary compositions. This variety pairs well with various vegetables, cheeses, and dressings, making it a versatile ingredient in cooking.
For successful cultivation of Seladon, it is recommended to use fertile, well-drained soils with adequate levels of lighting. Regular watering is especially important during dry periods to maintain taste qualities and leaf crispness. It is recommended to maintain optimal planting density to form large and well-developed rosettes. Attention should also be paid to protecting plants from pests using biological methods or folk remedies, which contributes to obtaining a quality and healthy harvest.
