LETITIA

Italian Precision for Late-Season Harvesting

The «Letizia» strawberry variety, developed by the experts at C.I.V Consorzio Italiano Vivaisti, is a specialized solution for growers aiming to extend their harvest season. While early varieties fade, Letizia reaches its peak potential, offering consistency and durability in the late harvest window.

Why Letizia Stands Out

• Disease Resilience: A primary strength of this C.I.V selection is its high tolerance to anthracnose and root rot. This natural robustness reduces the dependency on chemical fungicides, leading to lower production costs and a more sustainable harvest profile.
• Fruit Quality: The berries, weighing between 20 and 30 grams, feature a notably dense flesh. This makes them significantly better suited for transport and storage compared to many other late-ripening varieties.
• Versatility: Whether you are supplying the fresh market, targeting freezing facilities, or processing for industry, Letizia proves to be a reliable, all-purpose cultivar.

Performance and Cultivation

With an yield potential of 1.5–2.0 kg per plant, Letizia offers strong economic performance for medium-to-large agricultural operations. It adapts well to both open-field and greenhouse cultivation environments. While its cold tolerance is moderate (down to -18°C), this is easily managed through proper mulching practices. For farmers, Letizia represents a balance of high-end quality and practical agronomic traits, making it an excellent addition to any commercial portfolio focused on late-season profit maximization.
