(In En) MRS 13 is originally a kafir germplasm line identified as IS 2391. It is a medium-duration (110-125 days) pure line variety. The plant is purple, produces one or more tillers, and grows to a height of 1.3-1.4 m. Its leaves are medium-sized (66-70 cm long and 8-10 cm wide). The panicle is fairly large, semicompact, and elliptic. It has no major disease problems. MRS 13 has a medium-sized (100-seed mass 2.4 g), bright red grains with a thin pericarp. The grains have no testa and do not contain tannin. They are hard (3.7 on a 1-5 scale) with white endosperm and good milling yield of 82%. They are also suitable for malting, but are highly recommended for milling. On average, it yielded 2.5 t/ha compared with the local variety Ntuli Red (1.7 t/ha) and the commercial hybrids DC 99 (4.6 t/ha) and PNR 8311 (2.6 t/ha). The mean yield of this variety was 3.2 t/ha., 2 tables;, (In En) MRS 13 is originally a kafir germplasm line identified as IS 2391. It is a medium-duration (110-125 days) pure line variety.
