Abstract:
The introduced cultivar 'Schwarz-21', a source of resistance, was crossed with the large-podded local cultivar 'Virginia Bet Dagan No. 4'. Selection of the progeny for larger pods led to reduced resistance levels. The combination of intermediate resistance and use of the inexpensive biocide metham (Vapam) led to low pod rot incidence. © 1985 Springer Science + Business Media B.V.
