Origin and Development

ICCV 5 was derived from the cross, C 104 x CPS 1. The F1 generation was sown in the off-season, and the F2 generation was sown at ICRISAT Center. Single plants were harvested in the F2 generation and plants without wilt symptoms were selected from wilt-infested fields in the F3 and F4 generations. Their F5 progenies were bulked as ICCX-780168-65P-5P-BP, and numbered ICCL 83009.
