Crystal has the best available combined suite of resistance
to Powdery Mildew, Tan Spot & Halo Blight among current
varieties. Crystal has performed very well over the past 2
years
Demand for this variety is mainly to cooking and
processing markets in Asia.
Small Shiny seeded variety, consistent seed size, colour &
lustre. The benchmark for smaller seeded varieties. Good
for sprouting & splitting.
