Nine genotypes of cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum Maton) along with two commercial cultivars, Green Gold and Appangala 1were evaluated for their yield and selected horticultural traits. There were significant differences amongst different genotypeswith respect to yield and other traits. The genotype IC 349651 was found to be highest in yield (1048.2 kg ha-1) followed byIC 547167 (987.1 kg ha-1). The genotype IC 547167 (Appangala 2) was found to be moderately resistant to Cardamom mosaicvirus under artificial conditions and rich in α terpinyl acetate content which was comparable to Appangala 1. In 2014, thegenotype IC 547167 was recommended for high yield and resistance to Cardamom mosaic virus under field conditions andreleased as Appangala 2 for Karnataka and adjoining areas of Kerala. The variety, Appangala 2 (IC 547167) was developedthrough hybridization between Appangala 1 x NKE 19.
