Nine varieties have since been released from our breeding program - S5 (temporary code) at the beginning of 2010. Four varieties, SSG 525 (2003), SSG 532 (2004), SSG 506 (2008) and S02-11 (2009), has already been phased out for various reasons. So, five local varieties are cultivated this season. Three experimental varieties ( S6, S9 and Marthe) will be evaluated this year. The first variety from our program accepted for the irrigation area was SSG 585 in 2006.
