Iceberg Lettuce Seeds
Local breeding work makes it possible to attain well-adapted varieties for each growing area.
LI 079
LI 086
LI 100
LI 105
New Salinas-Vanguard variety, recommended for fall and spring transplants. The dark-colored plant has medium-high vigour and upright plant habit. Noted for its freshness, holds up very well in the open field. Very well formed with a flat bottom, somewhat raised off the ground, avoiding rot. Recommended for bagging and industry.
HR: Bl 16-26, 28, 32
LI 111
LI 113
Almenara
Vigorous Vanguard type for cultivation in late winter or mid winter in warm areas. Shorter growing cycle than other Vanguards, large size capacity. Well-formed, hardy lettuce with good uniformity.
HR: Bl 16,17,19,21,23
Cepheus
Salinas type with balanced foliage and thick leaf. Large size capacity with very well-formed, heavy heads. High uniformity and productivity in the field. Recommended for March harvests, as well as mid-winter in warm areas.
HR: Bl 16, 17, 19, 21, 23. Nr: 0
KAVIR
Iceberg in the medium-sized ‘Salinas’ type, with a well closed head of a deep, bright green colour. Very uniform, excellent for summer harvesting as it is resistant to seed set and TipBurn (leaf margin necrosis). Good head closure even under heat stress (high temperatures). Excellent quality for tenderness, fragrance and flavour. Size of 500-600 g.

Glossary
HR
High Resistance. Plant varieties that highly restrict the growth and development of the specified pest or pathogen under normal pest or pathogen pressure when compared to susceptible varieties. These plant varieties may, however, exhibit some symptoms or damage under heavy pest or pathogen pressure.
IR
Intermediate Resistance. Plant varieties that restrict the growth and development of the specified pest or pathogen, but may exhibit a greater range of symptoms or damage compared to high resistant varieties. Intermediately resistant plant varieties will still show less severe symptoms or damage than susceptible plant varieties when grown under similar environmental conditions and/or pest or pathogen pressure.
Bl
Bremia lactucae
Physiological races Bl:1-15 of Bremia lactucae (downy mildew) in lettuce are agronomical no longer relevant in Europe, as to the best of our knowledge these races are no longer observed in practice in Europe nowadays. Therefore reference to the races Bl:1-15 is no longer made in resistance claims with regard to B. lactucae. From May 1st 2014 onwards, the resistance claim of a variety refers only to Bl:16-31.
P.s.: Although race Bl:19 is to the best of our knowledge also no longer observed in practice nowadays, reference to the race Bl:19 will continue to be made in resistance claims with regard to B. lactucae to simplify the notation of the resistance claim. In practice this means that for example Bl:16-31 should be understood as Bl:16-18,20-31.
