Agroport-D

We have two recognized varieties in the burley type group : Pallagi 5, Pallagi 7 and Pallagi 12. These varieties have good PVY resistance and they produce accepted industrial quality.

Before state recognition of new variety, the variety candidates are entered into a large scale field trials after breeding trials. The decision about the variety recognition is made on the basis of their (grower and industrial) performance in the field trials. At present Pj 14 burley variety candidate is included in field trial. That variety candidate has the same diesaese resistance as our currently recognized burley varieties have. Beside good yield potential, it has high smoking quality required by the industry.
