Associated Characters and Cultivated Practices
Stem is green, stiff robust. Resistant against PFSR, is
an economically important disease causes reduction of
18.7% in cob weight and 11.2% in 1000-grain weight
in infected plants (Cook, 1978). The losses due to this
disease in India have also been calculated to range from
10 to 42% (Payak and Sharma, 1978; Desai et al., 1991;
Harlapur et al., 2002).
2. DMR – PFSR – 9: (JCY3-7-1-2-1(Z Path) -b-2-1-
3-1) is inbred line, source of resistance to post owering
stalk rots of maize caused by Macrophomina phaseolina
and Fusarium moniliforme (Rakshit et al., 2011). The
primary source of this material is JCY series from
PAU, Ludhiana. The inbred was developed at DMR
New Delhi, for desirable character following pedigree
breeding methodology. The germplasm /parental material
was received from PAU, Ludhiana under collaborative
programme of evaluation inbred lines against PFSR
during 2001-2004. The multi-location evaluation of the
genotype was done in hot spot locations at Hyderabad,
Udaipur, Delhi and Ludhiana against PFSR from 2006 –
2010 under articial epiphytotic condition. Maintenance
and multiplication of inbred line was done at Directorate
of Maize Research, New Delhi and winter nursery at
Hyderabad.
Morpho-agronomic Characteristics
Plant exhibited stay-green character, stiff, strong stem,
purple brace root, with light purple silk, sparse spikelets,
purple silk, plant length – long, ear conico- cylindrical;
Grains are dent, yellow round in shape with desirable
plant type and good agronomic traits like optimum ear
placement, stiff stalk, good pollen shed. The inbred was
consistently resistant against PFSR. The disease reaction
recorded from 1.0 to 4.2 on 1-9 rating scale (1 is highly
resistant, 9 is highly susceptible) across the location
during 4 years of testing.
Associated Characters and Cultivated Practices
Stem is green, stiff robust. Resistant against PFSR which
is an economically important disease causes reduction
of 18.7% in cob weight and 11.2%in 1000-grain weight
in infected plants (Cook, 1978). The losses due to this
disease in India have also been calculated to range from
10 to 42% (Payak and Sharma, 1978; Desai et al., 1991;
Harlapur et al., 2002).

(Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) Germplasm with Super Early Maturity

IPM 205-7: Mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] is
an important short duration grain legume having wider
adaptability and low input requirements. It is widely
grown in the sub-tropical countries of the South and
Southeast Asia, Australia, West Indies, South and North
America and Tropical and Subtropical Africa. India is
the largest producer of mungbean and alone accounts
for 65% of the world acreage and 54% of the world
production. In India, it is grown in kharif (monsoon),
rabi (winter) and spring/summer seasons in different
agro-ecological regions. While comparatively longer
duration genotypes (65-75 days maturity) are suitable for
cultivation in the kharif season, short duration genotypes
(<60 days maturity) are desirable for spring/summer
seasons. Because of scarcity of irrigation water and
intense heat wave during the months of April and May

coinciding with the reproductive phase of this crop in
spring/summer sown crop, short duration genotypes are
urgently required which can mature in about 50 days.
Such genotypes when sown after the harvest of rabi crops
can complete their life cycle well before the onset of
intense heat wave escaping extreme temperatures during
pod lling and maturity stage, giving good harvest. Such
genotypes can also t well in different crop rotations
and cropping systems. Keeping this in view, an extra
early maturing genotype, IPM 205-7 (IC0589309), was
developed at Indian Institute of Pulses Research, Kanpur.
This genotype has been derived from a cross ‘IPM 02-1
x EC 398889’ following pedigree method of breeding. It
has short-statured and erect plants with green, ovate and
entire leaves and a green stem with purple splashes. The
owers are of light yellow color while the pod habit is
intermediate. Pods are short, straight and black on maturity
while the seeds are green and shining. IPM 205-7 has
synchronous maturity and it is resistant to Mungbean
Yellow Mosaic Virus. This genotype matured 11-19
days earlier than the different check varieties when sown
under Kanpur conditions (20o 27’ N latitude, 80o 14’ E
longitude, and 152.4 meter above the mean sea level).
While IPM 205-7 matured in 46-48 days, the check
varieties matured in 55-67 days. This genotype can be
used as a donor for transfer of earliness in agronomically
superior backgrounds.
IPM 409-4: Mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek]
is economically one of the most important pulse crops
of the Vigna group and it is cultivated since prehistoric
period in India. It is grown throughout Asia, Australia,
West Indies, South and North America, Tropical and
Subtropical Africa. In India, it is cultivated in different
seasons including spring, summer, rabi and kharif.
Development of early maturing genotypes is one of the
prime breeding objectives in mungbean improvement
programme because such genotypes can t well in
different crop rotations and multiple cropping systems.
During spring/summer season, their cultivation after the
harvest of wheat in North and Central India may save
at least one to two irrigations and one pesticide spray
leading to considerable savings. Besides this, it may also
help the crop escape from terminal heat wave, which can
otherwise lead to premature ower drop and signicant
yield loss due to lesser pod set. Keeping this in view, an
extra early maturing genotype, IPM 409-4 (IC0589310),
has been developed at Indian Institute of Pulses Research,
Kanpur. This genotype derived from a cross ‘PDM 288
x IPM 03-1’, following pedigree method of breeding,
has short-statured, erect and determinate plant type. The
leaves are dark green, ovate and medium-sized with
greenish purple veins while the owers are light yellow
in colour. The pods are present above the canopy and are
short, black and curved while the seeds are green, shiny
and oval in shape. When sown under Kanpur conditions
(20o 27’ N latitude, 80o 14’ E longitude, and 152.4 meter
above the mean sea level), this genotype matured 10-19
days earlier than the check varieties. While IPM 409-4
matured in 46-48 days, the check matured in 55-67 days.
This genotype has synchronous maturity and is also
resistant to Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus. Keeping
in view its higher yield, resistance to MYMV and extra
early maturity, it can be evaluated for possible release
besides using it as donor in hybridization programme
for development of early maturing and high yielding
varieties of mungbean.
