Cross breeding with the landrace Tettnanger (Züchtung Tettnanger)
Project
Project code: 4298, 31/579
Contract period: 01.05.2011
- 31.12.2020
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: Hop
The landrace Tettnanger should be significantly improved in its yield and fungal resistance while maintaining its original noble aroma profile. This objective could not be achieved via clonal selection. Thus, a classical cross breeding program has been started by using Tettnanger and pre-selected Hüll male breeding lines derived from progenies revealing fine aroma, broad disease resistance and good agronomic performance.
