Lada

Stable Yields of Aromatic Mint

The 'Lada' variety, developed by the specialists at RosNIIPTI SK and the Saratov State University of Genetics, Biotechnology and Engineering, represents a breeding achievement focused on professional cultivation of perennial mint. Unlike wild species, this variety demonstrates high adaptability to temperate climates, making it a predictable asset for commercial producers.

Key Advantages and Resilience

• Natural Immunity: The primary feature of this variety is its increased genetic resistance to powdery mildew. This allows for a significant reduction in fungicide applications, which is vital for obtaining eco-friendly produce suitable for the pharmaceutical and food industries.
• Perennial Stability: The plant exhibits high growth energy, recovers quickly after harvesting, and winters well, minimizing replanting costs.
• Biochemical Profile: 'Lada' features a balanced content of essential oils, making it an ideal raw material for both culinary applications and medicinal use.

Who is this variety for?

The variety is optimal for farms specializing in spice and aromatic crops for further processing. Thanks to its disease resistance, 'Lada' requires less intervention during agrotechnical care while maintaining its marketability and aromatic intensity throughout the vegetation period.

Despite its clear benefits, it is worth noting that the variety requires proper crop rotation and regular irrigation during dry periods to maintain maximum concentration of aromatic compounds. Choosing developments from the Saratov University ensures reliance on a proven scientific foundation, avoiding unexpected issues when establishing a plantation.
