According to a report by Growing Produce, the new lettuce varieties are named Salinas 88 and Salinas 98. These varieties were developed by a team of scientists from the University of California, Davis, in collaboration with other researchers. The report states that these new varieties have been tested and found to be resistant to INSV, a virus that can cause yellowing, necrosis, and stunted growth in lettuce crops.
The report further states that the development of these new lettuce varieties is a significant breakthrough in the agricultural industry. INSV is a serious threat to lettuce crops, and farmers have been struggling to control its spread. The new varieties will provide a more sustainable solution, reducing the need for chemical control methods that can be harmful to the environment and human health.
The development of these new lettuce varieties is an important achievement for the agricultural industry. Salinas 88 and Salinas 98 have shown promise in withstanding INSV, which can help farmers avoid significant losses in their lettuce crops. With the development of more resistant varieties, we can work towards a more sustainable and healthier agricultural future.
