Abstract
ICMV 2 was formed by recombining a line resistant to downy mildew (700516) from Nigeria and two populations (Serere 2A and Cassady) from Uganda. These three entries were identified as the best general combiners in a diallel cross analysis in 1979 at the Centre National de Recherches Agronomiques, Bambey, Senegal, by staff of the ICRISAT/ISRA cooperative program. Syn1 seed was generated by mixing equal quantities of seed of all possible crosses among the three parents. Mass selection was practiced in the subsequent generations in the seed increase plots, which were grown in isolation. The resultant variety was tested as IBV 8001.
