Tacitus F1 Romaine Lettuce Seeds

Sold in cans of 5000 seeds. 

Tacitus (LET2005) is a full-size Romaine (cos) lettuce hybrid celebrated for its emphasis on producing hearts, slight savoy leaf texture, and a medium-green hue. Designed for main and fall season cultivation, it stands out with strong internal burn resistance and slow bolting—perfect for high-quality, reliable yields.

Key Features:

• Open-Heart Romaine with Savoy Texture
  Delivers well-defined, tender hearts and slightly crinkled leaves that enhance both texture and visual appeal.

• Exceptional Tip-Burn Resistance
  Built to resist internal burn, Tacitus ensures superior quality even under stress conditions.

• Slow Bolting Characteristic
  Maintains head integrity longer during warmer periods—ideal for fall production cycles.

• Robust Disease Resistance Profile
  Highly resistant (HR) to Downy Mildew races 16–26 and 32EU, along with Nasonovia aphid (Nr:0). Shows intermediate resistance (IR) to Lettuce Mosaic Virus (LMV:1).

• Versatile Growing Environments
  Performs reliably in both greenhouse and hydroponic systems, offering flexibility across production platforms.
  

Benefits for Growers:

• Optimized for Heart Production
  Delivers dependable heart formation—minimizing waste and maximizing marketable yield across main and fall seasons.

• Extended Harvest Window
  Holds quality longer thanks to slow bolting and resilience to tip-burn, enhancing harvest scheduling and crop stability.

• Built-In Disease Resistance
  Strong defense against common Romaine pathogens increases crop reliability and reduces management needs.
