Description:
PHREC-Ca-Comp. #1�is a composite of PI 315797, PI 343014, PI 379217, PI 471915, PI 572509, PI 598080, and W6 17256. An initial composite was developed in the fall of 2002 at Scottsbluff, NE based on individual plant selections within each PI showing resistance to Ascochyta blight. During 2003 we selected within the composite for resistance to Ascochyta blight, root rot, fern leaf type, and for seed type following harvest to form the PHREC-Ca-Comp. #1. It was added to the entries in the Western Regional Chickpea Trial during 2004 through 2009 to evaluate its performance in western Nebraska.
