Robinson

Stable Iceberg Performance

Growing Iceberg-type lettuce often involves managing significant risks related to diseases and pests. The Robinson variety from Hazera has proven to be a reliable choice that allows us to focus on marketability rather than constant rescue treatments. Its primary strength lies in its genetic resistance: we save substantially on pesticides because this variety effectively handles lettuce mosaic virus, downy mildew, and both leaf and root aphids.

Field Experience

As a mid-maturing variety, Robinson fits perfectly into a balanced production schedule. In our fields, it has demonstrated consistent growth patterns: the heads are dense, and the leaves maintain a vibrant green color even during periods of temperature stress. The medium-sized heads are exactly what our retail partners and fresh-cut processors are looking for.

• Pathogen Resistance: Downy mildew, lettuce mosaic virus, lettuce aphid, and root aphid.
• Plant Type: Iceberg.
• Maturation: Mid-season.

Managing this variety is straightforward and efficient. We particularly value the uniformity of the heads during harvest; there is minimal waste, which significantly boosts our profit margins per hectare. For any producer aiming for predictable output and reduced chemical intervention, this Hazera hybrid offers a practical and high-quality solution that delivers every season.
