A long term research investigation was carried out for identification of elite genotypes from germplasm and their utilizationin the development of high yielding variety through hybridization followed by pedigree method to obtain desirabletransgressive segregants of Faba bean at MAP Section, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, CCS HaryanaAgricultural University, Hisar during winter season from 2004-18. In the present investigation, germplasm was screenedfor seed yield, resistance to biotic stress and other traits during 2004-05. As a result, ten elite genotypes were identified.By using these elite genotypes, forty five F1 hybrids were developed during 2005-06 and from F2 up to F6 generationswere evaluated to identify the superior progenies during 2006-11. Later on, the superior transgressive segregants entrieswere evaluated under various station trials from 2011-15 which led to identification of HB11-12, HB11-15 and HB11-32as promising genotypes. Subsequently, these genotypes were further evaluated at different locations having diverse agroecologicalconditions for seed yield, quality and resistance against insect pest and disease during 2015-18. On the basis ofaverage yield over all the locations, HB11-12 exhibited 14.95% yield superiority and was also found free from insect pestsand disease. Hence, HB11-12 may be recommended for commercial cultivation in plain zones of semi arid regions of India.
