DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a novel asexually reproduced grapevine variety, Vitis vinifera, of seedless table grapes with a long shelf-life, named King Husainy.
Among the table grapevine varieties this variety is appreciated for its large berry size, for being seedless and very productive. It shows no berry shedding and it is resistant to rotting.
This variety was obtained by its breeder in the Karniel vineyard, Zichron Ya'acov, Israel, through selection started in 1980, cultivation for one generation and analysis for a period of five years. For propagation, grafting on Rogery 140rootstock was used. A variety was obtained producing table grapes having a berry size of 40.times.18 mm with green-yellow colored seedless berries, very productive, with no berry shedding and resistant to rotting.
The drawing shows a colorphotograph of the new variety, as well as a leaf of the same.
