Our baby leaf lettuce breeding programme is
proving exceptionally popular in Spain and the USA. The
range of textures, leaf shapes and colours are adding
interest to salad bags, while excellent mildew
resistance makes the crop easier to grow and reduces
reliance on ever more expensive inputs.

in the USA and are increasingly popular in Europe.
