An attempt was made to evolve a blackgram strain with high yield potential combined with resistance to yellow mosaic disease which resulted in the Isolation of the culture, NPRB 1. This culture recorded a grain yield of 772 kg/ha with an overall increase of 57 per cent over Co 5. It matures in 60 days with synchronous flowering and fruiting habit. Hence, NPRB 1 was released as Vamban 1 blackgram especially for the hot spot areas of Tamil Nadu where yellow mosaic is a problem.
