RG 17 Varieties

RG 17 was developed by RG Seed Company from a cross between K 326 and K 399. It has high resistance to Granville wilt and low resistance to black shank. It produces high yields of good quality tobacco. Compared to K 326, plants of RG 17 flowered about 2 days earlier, were slightly taller with one additional leaf per plant after topping, and had average leaf spacing similar to that of K 326.
