Abstract
Letaba, NIK2 and OR19 were released for commercial cultivation in the R.S.A. in 1989. Letaba has potential as a dryland cultivar in the Springbok Flats and northern Natal. NIK2 is intended for cultivation under irrigation in the same areas and has fibre properties comparable with those of Acala 1517–70. OR19 was developed at Upington and has high resistance to Verticillium dahliae (Kleb). It is intended for areas with Verticillium problems and where the red leaf disorder occurs.Keywords
