A buttery texture and mild sweet flavor make DUBARED very suitable for all kinds of fresh use. High yielding variety with heat tolerance mainly recommended for spring and autumn growing.
DUBAGOLD

MINIKO
A very early iceberg variety for both indoor and year-round outdoor growing. Small but heavy compact heads with weight about 400 grams. Nice sweet taste and good bolting tolerance are important characteristics of this lettuce.
MEDIMO
A mid-early Iceberg lettuce for all year production with extremely good bolting resistance. Well wrapped heads are uniform with slightly blistered leaves and average weight of more than 450 g. MEDIMO can be grown successfully in hot summers as it shows high tolerance to heat and intermediate resistance to Sclerotinia Rot and to LMV. MEDIMO is one of the most tolerant icebergs to Tipburn caused by lack of calcium uptake.
MAXIMO
Late season variety of iceberg lettuce with very large heads (about 500 g) and deep green, smooth leaves. Maximo shows strong tolerance to high temperatures and is very slow to bolt. Intermediate resistance to LMV. Big firm heads, good health and heat tolerance highly recommend MAXIMO for both fresh and processing production.

BATAVUS creates open heads of upright curly leaves in winter or under very early spring indoor growing conditions. When grown later it forms firm and well-closed heads. BATAVUS is high heat resistant variety and can be grown from early spring to late autumn. It is nice breed for covered open field production first of all. Very healthy lettuce with good storability
GLOBUS
GLOBUS makes unusual round green heads, not very typical for a cos lettuce (about 900 g). Suitable for both fresh market and processing. It is also very good for baby leaf production.
