In Iran, the line ILB 1269 (New Mammoth) was identified for release, from an international trial provided by the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA). The new line, which was named Barkat, is recommended for the Caspian region. In three years of testing Barkat outyielded the local check by an average of 128% and in one year by 230% in dry seed and green pod, respectively. This line also proved to be moderately resistant to foliar diseases, i.e. chocolate spot, rust, and alternaria leaf spot
