Seed’s Origin: Japan

 

Germination Rate (Approx.): 80%

Physical Purity (Min): 98%

Genetic Purity (Min): 98%

Germination Temperature: Iceberg lettuce seeds germinate best at soil temperatures between 15°C and 21°C. Ensure the soil is at least 10°C before sowing seeds.

Germination Time: Seeds typically germinate within 7 to 14 days under optimal conditions.

Plant Height and Seed Sowing Depth:

• Plant Height: Mature plants reach about 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 cm) tall.
• Seed Sowing Depth: Sow seeds 1/4 to 1/2 inch (0.6 to 1.3 cm) deep.

Plant Spacing: Space plants 12 to 18 inches (30 to 45 cm) apart to allow adequate growth and air circulation.

Row Spacing: Maintain 18 to 24 inches (45 to 60 cm) between rows.

Trellis or Support Requirements: Iceberg lettuce does not require trellising or physical support, as it forms a compact head.

Seed to Harvest Time: Harvest mature heads approximately 70 to 80 days after sowing.

Seed to Bloom Time: Lettuce is typically harvested before it bolts (produces flowers). If allowed to bolt, flowering occurs several weeks after the harvest period, depending on growing conditions.

Pot/Container Size: Use containers at least 5 gallons in size, ensuring they have drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.

Soil Type and pH Level:

• Soil Type: Prefers well-draining, nutrient-rich soil. A mix of 50% compost, 30% peat moss, and 20% perlite is recommended.
• pH Level: Ideal soil pH is between 6.0 and 7.0.

Sunlight Requirement:

• Daily Sunlight: Requires 6 to 8 hours of full sun daily.
• Light for Germination: Seeds do not require light to germinate; they can sprout in darkness if soil conditions are optimal.

Companion Plants: Good companions include carrots, radishes, and strawberries. Avoid planting near broccoli or cabbage, as they can compete for nutrients.

Essential Nutrients and Organic Fertilizers:

• Nutrients: Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K) are vital.
  • Nitrogen: Promotes leafy growth.
  • Phosphorus: Supports root development.
  • Potassium: Enhances overall plant health.
• Organic Fertilizers:
  • Compost: Provides a balanced nutrient profile.
  • Aged Manure: Rich in nitrogen.
  • Bone Meal: High in phosphorus.
  • Wood Ash: Supplies potassium.

Organic Fertilizer Application in Containers:

• Application Rate: Mix 1 to 2 cups (approximately 240 to 480 grams) of compost or aged manure into the potting mix before planting.
• Interval: Top-dress with a thin layer of compost every 3 to 4 weeks during the growing season.

Chemical Fertilizer Requirements and Application:

• Fertilizer Type: Use a balanced fertilizer, such as 10-10-10 (N-P-K).
• Application Rate: Apply approximately 1 tablespoon (about 15 grams) per plant, evenly distributed around the base.
• Interval: Every 4 to 6 weeks during the growing season.

Water Requirements:

• Amount: Provide about 1 to 1.5 inches (2.5 to 3.8 cm) of water per week, equivalent to approximately 2.5 to 3.8 liters per square foot.
• Interval: Water 2 to 3 times per week, adjusting based on weather and soil moisture.

Pests and Control Methods:

• Common Pests: Aphids, slugs, and snails.
• Chemical Control: Insecticidal soaps or slug pellets containing iron phosphate.
• Organic Methods: Introduce natural predators like ladybugs for aphids; use beer traps or hand-pick slugs and snails.

Diseases and Treatments:

• Common Diseases: Downy mildew, lettuce drop.
• Chemical Control: Fungicides containing copper or chlorothalonil.
• Organic Methods: Ensure proper spacing for air circulation, rotate crops annually, and remove infected plants promptly.

Harvest Indicators: Harvest when heads are firm and reach full size, typically 70 to 80 days after planting. The outer leaves should be well-formed, and the head should feel dense when gently squeezed.

Monthly Yield for a Family of Four: Assuming each person consumes about 1.5 kg of lettuce per month, a family of four would require 6 kg monthly.

Nutritional Values: Iceberg lettuce is often undervalued nutritionally; however, it offers several benefits:

• Hydration: Composed of approximately 95.6% water, aiding in daily hydration.

• Vitamins: Provides vitamins A and K, essential for vision and blood clotting.

• Fiber: Contains dietary fiber, supporting digestive health.

Health Benefits: Incorporating iceberg lettuce into your diet can:

• Enhance Hydration: Due to its high water content.
• Support Vision and Immunity: Through vitamin A intake.
• Aid Blood Clotting: Thanks to vitamin K.
• Promote Digestive Health: Via dietary fiber.

Suggested Recipes: Here are four popular recipes featuring iceberg lettuce:

Bangladeshi Cuisine:

• Lettuce Bhorta: A traditional mashed salad combining blanched iceberg lettuce with mustard oil, green chilies, onions, and salt.

Ideal Germination Months in Bangladesh: Considering Dhaka’s historical temperatures, with averages ranging from 22.8°C to 33.9°C in February and March, it’s advisable to plant iceberg lettuce seeds during the cooler months. Optimal germination occurs between 15°C and 21°C, making November to January ideal for sowing under natural conditions.
