Black pepper
Although several varieties of Black pepper have been developed and released for commercial cultivation, Panniyur-1 has withstood the test of time and is still the ruling variety in all the states in India where black pepper is grown and also in other black pepper growing countries. This variety is known to every black pepper grower and is popular in small homestead gardens and in large plantations. The variety has special distinguishing characters such as long spike, high fruit setting bold berries and high yield.
