PVH09

Typically yields well and has good quality. It has moderate resistance to bacterial wilt, and is resistant to TMV and races 1 and 3 of the Southern root knot nematode. PVH09 has low resistance to black shank. It will have a good grade index and flowers about the same time as K 326.

PVH19

An early-maturing hybrid that ripens about 15-20 days earlier than K 326. It yields nearly the same as K 326 and has good quality and curability. PVH19 has resistance to TMV, PVY, races 1 and 3 of the Southern root knot nematode, and low resistance to bacterial wilt.

PVH50

Has high resistance to bacterial wilt, resistance to TMV and races 1 and 3 of the Southern root knot nematode, and low resistance to black shank. PVH50 has a strong stalk and large leaves. It produces high yields of good quality tobacco—yield averages are somewhat higher than K 326.

PVH51

Produces tobacco of good quality and high yield with averages somewhat higher than
K 326. PVH51 has moderate resistance to bacterial wilt, resistance to TMV and races 1 and 3 of the Southern root knot nematode, and low resistance to black shank. PVH51 has a medium stalk.

RG 17

A high-yielding, good quality variety with high resistance to bacterial wilt, resistance to races 1 and 3 of the Southern root knot nematode, and tolerance to brown spot. It has low resistance to black shank. RG 17 is fairly easy to cure with nearly 19 leaves on a medium height stalk. Leaves ripen at a moderate rate, and RG 17 has excellent holding ability.

RG 81

Yields nearly the same as K 326 with slightly lower quality. It is moderately easy to cure. Days to flower, plant height, and number of leaves per plant are similar to K 326. It is a late maturing variety with moderate resistance to black shank and Granville wilt and resistance to races 1 and 3 of the Southern root knot nematode.

RG H4

A high-yielding, good quality hybrid with high resistance to bacterial wilt, moderate resistance to black shank, and resistance to TMV and races 1 and 3 of the Southern root knot nematode.
