The International Bremia Evaluation Board has noticed that several physiological races of Bremia lactucae in lettuce (races Bl: 1-15) are agronomical no longer relevant in Europe. As to the best of our knowledge these races are no longer observed in practice on commercial varieties. Therefore reference to the races Bl: 1-15 is no longer made in resistance claims in seed catalogues with regard to Bremia lactucae. From September 1st 2014 onwards, the resistance claim of a variety will only refer to Bl: 16-31.

For more information please download the ' Letter to the lettuce seed industry' and the ' official press release of Plantum '.
