5929

1.   5929 is a non-dormant alfalfa cultivar by which breeder seed was produced by blending equal quantities of seed of three non-dormant experimentals. The three experimentals were developed after two years of progeny row testing of parent clones at Five Points, California. The parent clones were selected on the basis of high CCA, Phytophthora root rot, blue alfalfa aphid and spotted aphid resistance. 5929 traces primarily to CUF 101 alfalfa, with 57 clones originating from CUF 101, 1 from Moapa 69 and 4 from Pioneer experimentals
