The first Vilmorin icebergs rise from the earth!
Lettuce is the largest market for seeds, and the Iceberg lettuce is a must-have. Present in all production zones, it is the top seller for ready-to-eat packaged lettuce. The name of Vilmorin's proprietary Iceberg goes by the name of Antartica. It is a Salinas-type lettuce with a voluminous head and strong resistance to Bremia. It is distinguished by its slow growing rhythm, meaning that growers can harvest over longer periods. It has been tested through a network of trials set up throughout Europe and the Americas, but also in Australia and South Africa. Its first sales in the United Kingdom and Brazil are promising. And other proprietary varieties - Kirkenia and Ice16006 – are already arriving on the market. The beginnings of an efficient Iceberg line-up from Vilmorin.
