Advanced varietal trial I (first year) of the ICAR-All India network project on arid legumes conducted during 2019-20 to compare the yield (kgha–1) performance of the introgression line KBC 12 (MC 17−2) produced in the genetic background of C-152 with the recurrent genotype at eight locations in Southern India.
