About -

Savor crisp, refreshing greens with Richgrow Seeds Lettuce Ice-Berg Open Pollinated Seeds, a trusted, non-GMO variety (Lactuca sativa), perfect for Indian home gardeners and farmers seeking crunchy, light green lettuce heads at an unbeatable price! Known as Ice-Berg, this open-pollinated variety produces tight, round heads, weighing 300–500 grams each, with pale green, crisp leaves and a mild, sweet flavor, ideal for salads, burgers, or wraps, ready to harvest in 50–60 days after sowing. Packed with hydration and low in calories, this lettuce is a nutritious choice, and its seeds can be saved for future planting. The compact, vigorous plants, reaching 25–35 cm tall, are resistant to pests like aphids and diseases such as powdery mildew, thriving in cool to mild climates, with optimal sowing in early spring (February–March) or autumn (September–November) across Pan-India, especially in states like Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Tamil Nadu.

Sow 2–3 seeds at a 0.5–1 cm depth in well-drained, fertile loamy soil (50% garden soil, 30% compost, 20% sand, pH 6.0–7.0) under partial to full sun (4–6 hours daily), spacing 25–35 cm apart in rows 40–50 cm wide; achieve 85% germination within 7–10 days at 15–25°C. Maintain consistently moist soil with light watering (0.5–1 liter per plant every 2 days), avoiding waterlogging, and fertilize with organic compost or nitrogen-rich fertilizer every 3 weeks; use neem oil or organic sprays for pests like slugs or leafhoppers. Thin to one strong seedling per spot after 2 weeks for optimal head formation. Harvest heads when they feel firm and dense, typically 40–50 days after germination, cutting at the base with a sharp knife, ensuring excellent storage in a cool, moist environment for up to 2–3 weeks. Store unopened seed packets in a cool, dry place for up to 2 years.
