plant varieties that highly restrict the growth and development of the specified pest or pathogen under normal pest or pathogen pressure when compared to susceptible varieties These plant varieties may, however, exhibit some symptoms or damage under heavy pest or pathogen pressure Intermediate resistance (IR) - plant varieties that restrict the growth and development of the specified pest or pathogen, but may exhibit a greater range of symptoms or damage compared to highly resistant plant varieties Intermediately resistant plant varieties will still show less severe symptoms or damage than susceptible plant varieties when grown under similar environmental conditions and/or pest or pathogen pressure 32 | Enza Zaden Code Resistances Scientific name pathogen ISF English name Code Races/Strains Level of resistance Lettuce mosaic LMV IR Corky root Ss Downy mildew Bl 1-28 HR Nasonovia ribisnigri Lettuce leaf aphid Nr HR Pemphigus bursarius Lettuce root aphid Pb Viruses Lettuce mosaic virus Bacteria Sphingomonas suberifaciens (ex Rhizomonas suberifaciens) HR Fungi Bremia lactucae Insects HR Variety also available as organic seed from Enza Zaden | 33 Your Enza Zaden contact person: Per Crillesen | +45 2237 3906 | pcr@enzazaden.dk Enza Zaden Export Postbus | 1600 AA | Enkhuizen | the Netherlands Haling 1/E | 1602 DB | Enkhuizen | the Netherlands tel +31 (0)228 35 01 00 | fax +31 (0)228 35 02 00 info@enzazaden.nl | www.enzazaden.com National Horticultural Entrepreneur Award Winner 2012 © September 2012 | Enza Zaden Export | Enkhuizen | the Netherlands | Winnaar 2012 ...
