Lettuce Silva

Salata sort Silva differs in triple leaf coloring, featuring a bright red color caused by high iodine content. This element aids in removing heavy metals from the body and reduces the risk of thyroid gland diseases. The lettuce leaves are highly wavy, pinnately lobed, juicy, and crunchy, giving the variety a tender and pleasant taste. The rosette is semi-erect, with a diameter of up to 25 cm and a weight of about 300-400 grams.

Silva belongs to medium-early varieties with a maturation period of 42-46 days from seedling planting to rosette cutting. The variety exhibits good growth dynamics and high yield, surpassing many other triple-colored varieties. It is resistant to marginal burning, bolting, and Bremia, ensuring stable product quality. Due to high disease resistance, the lettuce is suitable for cultivation under various conditions.

The Silva variety can be grown year-round in protected ground, including conditions with artificial lighting. In open ground, it grows well from early spring to late autumn. For optimal development during spring cultivation, a planting scheme of 30x30 cm is recommended, while for autumn cultivation, 20x20 cm is advised. For prolonged freshness and attractive appearance, harvesting is best done in the evening or early morning. The lettuce is intended for fresh consumption and processing into salad mixtures.
