BONVITA is a variety of garden salad (Valerianella locusta), known for its plasticity and ease of harvesting. The leaves are dark green, glossy, with short petioles, giving them an attractive appearance and improving post-harvest shelf life. The plant rosette is compact, up to 30 cm high, and the small, smooth leaves create a pleasant texture for fresh greens.
The variety is characterized by high uniformity of plants and resistance to low temperatures, allowing it to be grown in open ground year-round. The root system develops quickly, ensuring reliable establishment and good yield regardless of agronomy and soil type. The plant easily withstands drip irrigation and systematic inter-row hoeing, which improves soil aeration.
BONVITA is ready for consumption just 3 weeks after seed germination and can be sown multiple times per season. Thanks to the compact rosette and slight leaf elevation, harvesting is effortless, and the product maintains freshness for over 20 days under optimal temperature conditions. This makes it an ideal choice for farmers seeking high yield and processing convenience.
