Lettuce  

BASF | Nunhems lettuce portfolio consists of varieties for open field, indoor and hydroponic cultivation. We provide growers worldwide with lettuce varieties that help them become and stay successful in their market.   

Our close relationships with all parties in the supply chain help us understand market needs and stay ahead of trends. Decades of experience help us respond to changes and possible threats, like Bremia, swiftly and effectively.   

Resilient varieties without compromise  

Our extensive expertise in lettuce genetics helps us to continuously develop new varieties. In doing so, we avoid sacrificing quality over resistance. Our varieties come with varying resistance packages while also offering all the traits growers and consumers appreciate. A great example is our range of iceberg varieties, developed to match different seasonal conditions and help growers grow this popular type of lettuce all year long. Another example is Finstar, our highly successful high tech teenleaf variety developed for hydroponic cultivation.
