Origin & Breeding History: 'Hervit 153' (experimental designation SGL 153u) originated from an open pollination conducted by the breeder at the experimental station of VitaPlant AG in Uttwil, Switzerland. A group of 3 to 4 unnamed proprietary plants of Solanum glaucophyllum were allowed to open pollinate in 2008. The resulting seed was collected and plants of the seeds were planted in the field at VitaPlant's experimental station for evaluation over several years for their overall plant health, yield, number of leaves and active compounds in the leaves such as Vitamin D3. 'Hervit 153' was finally selected in 2012 for its leaf yield, the amount of active compounds in the leaves and overall plant health. Since its selection, the new variety has been asexually propagated by root cuttings and in vitro in Uttwill, Switzerland.
Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'Hervit 153' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number 4070498, purchased from the Variety and Seed Study and Control Group (Groupe d'étude et de contrôle des variétés et des semences) in Beaucouzé, France. The trial was conducted by the National Institute of Agricultural Research (Institut national de la recherche agronomique) in Cavaillon, France, in 2016.
