Description:
Developed from the single cross GX 120 = Red Kloud/ICA 10009. Red Kloud has I gene resistance to Bean common mosaic virus (BCMV). Breeding line ICA 10009 also has I gene resistance to BCMV. Mass selection was practived in F2. A single plant was selected in the F3 bulk population at ICA-Pitalito, Huila, Colombia. The F4 plant-to-progeny row was planted at CIAT-Palmira, where a single plant was selected. The F5 plant-to-progeny row was again planted at the same site. Because the F5 was uniform for growth habit, flower color, maturity, and seed characteristics, eight of the most vigorous plants were harvested in bulk to form the first seed stock of A 195.
