Abstract

Introduction of a suitable vetch as winter crop in cold drylands of Iran is highly important. Line VP-2670 with origin of Turkey was selected from ICARDA nursery during 2002 and was evaluated along with other selected lines and local checks over nine years in different stations and on-farm conditions. VP-2670 with mean 3500 kgha-1 dry biomass over environments, high stability and protein content higher than local check cultivars was introduced officially in Iran in April 2012 and named Golsefid as a winter crop for cold and semi-cold dryland areas of Iran.
