Origin and Development ICPL 87119 was developed by the bulk-pedigree method from a cross ICP 1-6-W3 -Wl x C 11. The F2 to F6 generations of this cross were advanced in the wilt-screening nursery where one pod from each of the resistant plants was bulked to reconstitute the population. Wilt-resistant single-plant selections were made in the F7 generation, and one selection (ICPX 78143-WB-WB-WB-WB-W27-B) was found most promising because of its resistance to fusarium wilt and sterility mosaic. It was evaluated in yield trials from the 1986/87 to the 1988/89 cropping seasons at ICRISAT Center and other Indian locations. During the 1989/90 cropping season, it was evaluated as an entry in the Advanced Coordinated Trial 2 (ACT 2) of the All India Coordinated Pulses Improvement Project (AICPIP) in the central and south zones of India.
