90 R.V. <strong>Singh</strong>Ee 241472. EC 308316-17 possessed characters like salt tolerant andhigh protein contl;'nt EC 308322-23 rust resistant; Ee 308325resistant to foliar feeders introduced from USA. Ee 333855-60,resistant to soybean rust; Be 333864 soybean cyst nematoderesistant; BC 333897-906, high oil and protein rich lines; Be 333907-92 resistant to Phytophthora megasperma, non shattering and withhigh protein content were also introduced from USA.Winged bean: The germplasm collections which gave higher yieldat Akola included Be 38955A (1058 kg/hal and Ee 114273B (971kg/ha). A selection AKWB-l from EC 114273 B (Indonesia) hasbeen recommended for release during VIIth AICRP on underutilized and under-exploited plants workshop held at Bangalore.Accession BC 114273-B out yielded (106 q/ha) green pod yield andfound significantly superior over check (Akola local). It is also ahigh grain yielder (10 q/ha).Promising Introductions in Fibre CropsIn India, the major fibre crops are cotton and jute and theyhave an important place in the economy of the country. Some ofthe promising exotic introductions are given hereunder:Cotton! Accessions Be 314280-82 ex Syria (Aleppo-40 and Aleppo-33/1) are tolerant to Verticillium wilt; Be 317455-63 ex Turkey ishigh yielding, early maturing, high ginning outturn and fibre,length (28.5 rom and above). BC 323682-686 and Be 326150-166(U~A) are high yielding while BC 323682-686 (USA) are boll weevilresistant; Be 34398, BC 343987 are dwarf types; Ee 34417 early in .flowering; EC 344544, has long fibrE!; Ee 344895, a bushy type;EC 345771 is resistant to Heliothis spp. EC 341979, high yieldingupland cotton; Be 340239, 334244, 334245 high yielding;Ee 340239, okra leaf type; EC 340240 a male restorer line,EC 340242 is glandless, all introduced from USA. BC 335928 andEC 342984 (Turkey) are high yielding. Be 346025 is resistant toFusarium wilt. BC 346026 is resistant to Lygus; Ee 346027, resistantto Heliothis spp., EC 346031-51 has long fibre and Ee 350370 abushy type, ail from USA. Be 361387~405 high yielding hybridcotton from Israel. PI 506414, PI 506415 and PI 506416 combine okraleaf traits and have high yield potentials and also resistant to pinkboll worm (Pectinophora gossypiella). EC 344571":733 (USA) are
Promising Introductions and Prioritize Needs for Exotic Germplasm 91resistant to boll worm; BC 343926 (USA), long staple variety withhigh lint recovery; EC 338693 (Turkey) has high ginning percentagetogether with resistance to Verticillium wilt.Jute: Most accessions of jute were introduced from Bangladesh,Thailand and China having different desirable traits which includeCorchorus species, viz., C. olitorius, C. capsularis, C. trilocularis, C.facicularis, c. tridesns, C. aestuana, C. distonius etc.Different Hibiscus species were also introduced such as H.acetosella, H. acutangula, H. calyphyllus, H. cannbinus, H. subdariffaall from Bangladesh and various accessions of Crotalaria. jUl1ceafrom Italy, and its related species from Hungary. Other allied fibrecrops like Agave americana and Agave sislana have shown goodadaptations in arid zones and studies are in progress to evaluatefibre production potential under varying habitats of arid zones ofIndia.Promising Introductions of Under Utilized and Under ExploitedCropsA few interesting and successful introductions of fodderutility for arid habitats are Tamarugo (Pl'osopis tamarugo), kumbat(Acacia senegal), and A. albida. Brachychiton populneum, a droughttolerant shade tree of Australian origin, provides finest fodder andis also useful as wind breaker when planted in multiple rows.Prosopis tomarugo, ftom tropical America, is salt tolerant, droughtresistant and supplies pods/leaves as fodder for goats throughoutthe year. Kumut (Acacia senegal Wild), provides best grade of gumarabic, which has wide uses as an emulsifying agent, demulcentand protecting agent in the manufacture of adhesives, textiles,leather, water paints, polishes, inks, ceramics, food products andpharmaceutical preparations. Cassia sturtii, an Australian shrub isanot!ler drought resistant fodder type for recent introduction.Amongst the Acacias, A. albida is of great promise of arid and semiaridhabitats. Its pods and foliage provide good fodder. Fresh podyield is reported to be 100 tons/ha/year.Among the· Artiplex species, a few promising ones areA. halimus (EC 129767 ex Tunisia), A. canescens (Ee' 129768 exTunisia) and A. nummularia (EC 129766 ex Tunisia) which areperennial, evergreen and salt tolerant, have performed well atJodhpur and hold promise for arid region.
