Embodiment Construction

The interspecific hybrid `Neerkalka` has been developed by the Applicants by pollinating Mentha arvensis (cv Kalka) with pollen from Mentha spicata (cv Neera). The Applicants planted the parent plants Mentha arvensis (cv Kalka) and Mentha spicata (cv Neera) in alternate rows to favor crossing between them. The flowers of Mentha arvensis were dusted with the pollen collected from Mentha spicata flowers at regular intervals. The Applicants intention was to combine the better growth, menthol smell and disease resistance characters of Japanese mint with the carvone smell of spearmint to create a novel oil quality which can be more acceptable in pharmaceutical as well as confectionery industries. The mint species used as parents, were selected from the varieties already released by CIMAP and well accepted by the farmers and industries. The plants were grown at Pantnagar, India, in plots of 5 m.times.5 m. As the hybrid can reproduce vegetatively by vigorous suckers and the genotypic chara...

Abstract

The present invention relates to the development of a new and distinct interspecific mint hybrid `Neerkalka` developed by sexual crossing between improved Mother plant Mentha arvensis (cv Kalka) and pollen plant Mentha spicata (cv Neera), which hybrid is propagated vegetatively by suckers or stem cuttings and is stable for commerical cultivation.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates to a new and distinct interspecific hybrid mint plant namely `Neerkala` which is developed by sexual crossing between improved Mentha arvensis (cv Kalka) and Mentha spicata (cv Neera). The hybrid is propagated vegetatively by suckers or stem cutting and is stable for commercial cultivation.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONPlants of the mint species are cultivated world wide for their specific mint aroma, which find uses in the culinary, antiseptic, confectionery and flavoring purposes. The distinct taste and aroma originating from the essential oils of different species in Mentha genus determine their specific use. The natural cross compatibility occurs between the species although manual emasculation and pollination is impeded due to extremely small size of the florets. Mentha cardiaca seems to have originated as a naturally occuring species believed to originate from the hybridization of M. arvensis and M. spicata. Mentha arvensis whic...
