Leaf Characteristics: It is semi-self trashing, yellowish green leaf sheath with auricle and moderate trichomes. The leaves are broad and drooping at the center. Stalk Characteristics: Stalks are small to medium in diameter (2.2-2.6 cm), yellow green and waxy. It has cylindrical shape, no bud groove and corky patch. Number of Millable Stalks: 2.92 average stalks per stool at harvest. Reaction to Diseases: Resistant to smut, downy mildew and leaf scorch and moderate to yellow spot. Maturity: 12 months

Potential Yield in Comparison with Phil 8013 & Phil 6607 (Ecological Test Data, 1994-95). Variety Phil 8829 Phil 8013 Phil 6607 LKg/TC 2.48 2.28 2.21 TC/Ha 100 115 106 LKg/Ha 248.00 262.00 234.00

Data presented were results of Ecological test in four locations, Victorias Mill District, Ma-o, la Granja and Passi. Phil 8829 ranked first among the test varieties in all locations in terms of LKg/TC. With small to medium stalk diameter and average millable stalks of almost three, the variety gave only medium tonnage/hectare but still comparable to Phil 8013 and Phil 6607.
