Abstract

Line G11867 was first introduced in Iran together with 206 other white, chitti and red beans lines through CIAT, and was tested in different breeding experiments from 1992 to 1999. It was selected as a superior line in all experiments. In 2001 this line was evaluated with other six lines for drought tolerance, and it was found to be more tolerant than
cv. Daneshkadeh the check cultivar. Line G11867 was evaluated as a resistant line to CMV but susceptible to BCMV and BYMV. It was also resistant to two spotted mite in several experiments. In farmers farms its yield (2700 kgha-1) was more than the local check cultivar (1986 kgha-1). Its cooking quality was also evaluated good, compared to the newly introduced cultivars Pak and Shokofa. Due to high yield, drought tolerance and resistance to CMV and mite, line G11867 was officially introduced as a new cultivar for cultivation in cold regions of Iran in 2010.
