The lettuce cultivar SC374 Litorânea results from a long study of the cultivar Empasc 357 Litoral. Since 2008, under organic management system, researchers from Epagri assessed and selected lettuce strains presenting higher yield, flavor, physiological quality, early bolting, and diseases tolerance. Experiments were conducted in the Itajaí Experimental Station of Epagri. Additionally, representative farmers and vegetable producers were selected to evaluate promissory strains. Concluding the study, the cultivar SCS374 Litorânea was selected, presenting in average plants with 40cm of diameter, 312 grams of weight, 44 leaves per plant and 7 days of early bolting tolerance and less susceptibility to downy mildew, when compared with other cultivars. SCS374 Litorânea has been registered (RNC 36084) in the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply (MAPA).Metrics
