The Indian Spice Research Institute is located in Kozhikode, Kerala.
Recently this institute has developed a new variety of black pepper.
The name of this new species is 'Chandra'.
It is a bumper yielding variety.
Farmers of Kerala, Karnataka and Maharashtra will benefit more because farmers in these states cultivate black pepper in the maximum area.
'Chandra' has been developed by crossing Cholamundi and Thommankodi varieties.
To maintain all the qualities present in it, this hybrid was hybridized with Thommankodi.
