Elan is a very quick growing corn salad, for growing both under protection and on open ground. Compact, smoothleaved plants that have a high individual weight. Resistant to downy mildew. Tendancy for curling when sown early, hence not suitable for the first summer sowings. It is the one of our varieties that is commercially most widely grown.

This ensures the destruction of infective spores. However we cannot guarantee that a corn salad crop grown from our seeds will not be infested with mildew and Phoma. Infections like these may have different causes such as cultivation methods, soil or climate conditions.Planting distance: direct sowing ca. 10-30 x 1 cm
