[Asia Economy Reporter Park So-yeon] Farm Hannong announced on the 18th that it has launched high-quality European lettuce seeds targeting the rapidly growing salad vegetable market.


The European lettuce varieties introduced by Farm Hannong this time include a total of 10 varieties from Nunhems®, BASF's global seed brand: GreenGlace, MultiGreen1, MultiRed54, Batimer, Solma, Thimble, Charles, Cuore, Teide, and Fidel.


These varieties are suitable for both salad and ssam (wrap) use and can be cultivated in various ways, from greenhouse and open-field cultivation to plant factories and hydroponics. They are resistant to heat and pests, making cultivation stable even during high-temperature periods.



They are resistant to downy mildew and aphids, which frequently occur in facility cultivation, and have fewer issues with bolting or tip burn (the phenomenon where the leaf tips rot or dry out), which are common problems in summer lettuce cultivation. Easy to grow and of excellent quality, they are expected to be very popular among both farmers and consumers.
