Variety description

10 August 2026

The AB18 line is used as parental material for creating hybrids. It serves as an object of scientific research aimed at studying the genetic characteristics of the plant.

Literature notes the line's sensitivity to the herbicides nicosulfuron and mesotrione, which is conditioned by a single recessive gene. The material is also used in breeding programs to study resistance to the parasite Striga hermonthica and the pest cotton bollworm.
