The PV 2 , a new variety of small cardamom, has been recommended for Cardamom Hill Reserve of Idukki district, Kerala. This variety has been evolved from open-pollinated seedlings of PV 1. Dry recovery of PV 2 is very high (23.8%) owing to low moisture content of capsule rind, an indirect measure in quantification of dry yield. The size of dried capsules is very bold (7 mm width) thereby generating higher market value in auction centres. It is relatively field tolerant to biotic stresses like thrips, clump-rot and capsule-rot.
