99511 (Table 4-12). Most important these varieties are early to medium maturing (110-115 days sowing<br />
to maturity) and are resistant to the groundnut rosette disease that is prevalent in these locations.<br />

In 2008, IAR received F 8-<br />
F 12<br />
74 rosette disease resistant lines as observation nurseries (2 rows, 4 m long,<br />
non-replicated) grouped into early, medium and late maturing).. Additionally, five breeding nurseries<br />
consisting <strong>of</strong> 104 progenies derived from F6/F7 populations with enhanced resistance to the groundnut<br />
rosette diseases and the vector aphid were supplied <strong>for</strong> local evaluation and selection <strong>of</strong> promising<br />
material. From these initial nurseries, selected lines were evaluated on station in 2009 to increase seed<br />
<strong>for</strong> multi-location trials in 2010 crop season. One hundred and two breeding lines were evaluated in<br />
22 multi-location trials in 7 states (Table 4-13).<br />

ICRISAT: To maintain a flow <strong>of</strong> new breeding lines, a series <strong>of</strong> trait-specific preliminary and advanced per<strong>for</strong>mance trials<br />
were also conducted by ICRISAT scientists in Mali and Niger. A list <strong>of</strong> these trials is presented in Table 4-14.<br />
