Description
Hirst RZ is a red butterhead multi-leaf lettuce featuring the new Nasonovia resistance NR:1, which defends your crop against both known types of Nasonovia ribisnigri (Nr:0 and Nr:1).
Hirst RZ has strong, dark red leaves that add striking color and texture to salad mixes. This variety is ideal for high-density plantings and machine harvesting. Hirst RZ boasts adaptability and thrives in multiple growing regions.
As part of the Salanova family, it separates into numerous ready-to-eat leaves with one cut, and the Knox™ trait helps reduce pinking and extend shelf life for maximum freshness.
