UPDATE: READY-SET-SERVE ROMAINE

September 30, 2022

Romaine prices are rising.

  • Early September’s high temperatures have led to the development of internal and fringe burn, seeder core, and sunscald
  • Trimming damaged outer leaves during harvest is lowering case weights and overall yields at the field level
  • Mildew and thrip/aphid damage are prevalent due to persistently high temperatures
  • The presence of Impatiens Necrotic Spot Virus (INSV) and Sclerotinia has forced suppliers to cut ahead of their scheduled harvests to minimize crop loss
