Tuska (Tuska) lettuce is an early semi-heading lettuce variety of the Lollo Rossa type, characterized by rapid growth and high productivity. This variety is suitable for cultivation in various conditions: open field, greenhouses, and hydroponic systems. The vegetative period is approximately 40 days, allowing for quick harvest. Tuska is resistant to sudden frosts and unaffected by powdery mildew, leaf edge burn, and does not require treatment against lettuce aphids, making it convenient for organic farming and year-round production.
The leaves of Tuska lettuce have a distinctive red color with wavy edges and a dense structure. The plant rosettes are voluminous and maintain their marketable appearance for a long time, ensuring high product attractiveness on the market. The weight of one plant ranges from 300 to 350 grams. The lettuce has a pleasant, mild flavor without bitterness, and its greens are rich in vitamins and beneficial microelements, making it both nutritious and tasty for consumers.
Tuska lettuce is widely used for fresh consumption as well as processing. The harvested crop is well transportable and can be stored for a long time under cool conditions, retaining its quality. Thanks to its high resistance to bolting and leaf edge burn, this variety is suitable for fresh market sales, freezing, and various culinary purposes, making it a versatile and in-demand product.
