88 R.V. <strong>Singh</strong>from Taiwan such as EC 318985, 19059 and other differentgermplasm lines resistant to powdery mildew, charcoal rot, leafcrinkle virus,drought and flood tolerant, high yielding, uniform inmaturity, photoinsensitive and also found stable in production.Cowpea: BC 130163 from USSR a bushy type, early maturing (68-70 days) gave an average yield of 9 q/ha at Jodhpur. EC 5000 fromRhodesia, a bushy and photoinsensitive was noted for higher grainyield (14-15 q/ha): Be 107155 ex USA is also a high yieldingintroduction, aphid resistant (Be 216845-46 ex USA); extra earlymaturity coupled with higher grain yield and bruchid resistant (Ee169416-17, Be 169720-22 ex Nigeria). The cultivars Rituraj andAssem have been developed by the Bureau using Ee 26410 exMexico and BC 21622 ex Philippines as one of the parents.Accession Ee 336589-90 (Nigeria), were observed as aphid,bruchids, thrips and Striga resistant while Ee 305728 has long podsand Be 243988 and Ee 244980 are resistant to foliar diseases.Fieldpea : Cultivar Harbhajan (Ee 33866 ex Portugal) an earlymaturing, short statured, yellow seeded with dual purpose type,is an excellent introduction (Be 292160 ex USSR) and is reportedto be resistant to Ascochyta blight and fungal rot. The collectionsBC 15184 and Be 1741 are resistant to pea seed borne mosaic virus.Ee 271572-75 ( ex France) possessed resistance to pea seed bornemosaic virus. BC 109235, -15272 and EC 322745 have been observedto be free from powdery mildew at Delhi.Lentil: High yielding, bold seeded ,collections (BC 284207-237 exICARDA,. Syria); the early type collection Be 280267 and boldseeded Be 280286 gave good performance at Bhowali station.Ee33214, -23315, -233239 were identified as early promising types andEe 223193, -267585 and EC 267662 as late promising types,French bean: Diverse germplasm collections have been introducedfrom CIAT Colombia, USA, USSR, Nigeria and other countries.Amongst the notable introductions for high grain yield are: Ee57080, -43036, -94171, -9939 (UK) and BC 97829 (USA), respectively.The exotic introductions (PI 302538, PI 168980, 0 PI 281849 andPI 810871 ex USA) have been observed to be free from powderymildew (Erysiphe polygont) at Bhowali. The accession BC 62161-10,Be 22607, PI 170639 and PI 289441 possessed resistance/toleranceto Cercospora and angular leaf spot. Ee 290517, -271559 are good
