AF-3, high yielding, essential oil, Moderately Resistant to Ramularia blightAbstract
A new fennel variety AF-3 has been released with an average seed yield (2143 kg ha-1), essential oil (1.9%) and Ramularia blight resistance. The variety was recommended for release in Annual Group Meet XXIX AICRPs workshop held at Dr. YS Parmar University of Horticulture & Forestry, Solan (H.P.) during 4-6th Oct., 2018 and notified vide S.O.4272(E) dated 26.11.2019 for commercial cultivation under timely sown, with recommended POP for growing areas of Rajasthan. Adoption of new fennel variety AF-3 by the fennel growers will increase their farm productivity and income, thus improving their livelihood besides better sustenance of spice industry in the country.
