6200HT

 

1.  6200HT was selected for resistance to the following pests: bacterial wilt, Fusarium wilt, Verticillium wilt, Phytophthora root rot, anthracnose (race 1), Aphanomyces root rot (races 1 and 2), lesion nematode, high stem digestibility, high stem protein and winter survival. Phenotypic recurrent selection was used. Final selections were made from 2-3 year old space plant selection nurseries near Napier, Iowa, Livingston, Wisconsin and Marshfield, Wisconsin based on yield, winter survival, fall dormancy, leafhopper yellowing and leaf disease.

2.  6200HT appears to be adapted to the North Central Region of the U.S. It is intended for use in the North Central Regions of the U.S. It has been tested in Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois.

3.  Fall dormancy of 6200HT is similar to the FD 2 check. Flower color of Syn 2 generation is approximately 73% purple and 27% variegated with traces of yellow, white and cream.

4.  6200HT has high resistance to bacterial wilt, Fusarium wilt, Verticillium wilt, anthracnose (race 1), Phytophthora root rot and Aphanomyces root rot (race 1) and pea aphid, resistance to Aphanomyces root rot (race 2), moderate resistance to stem nematode and is susceptible to spotted alfalfa aphid. It has not been evaluated for resistance to blue alfalfa aphid and root knot nematode.

5.  Seed increase is limited to one generation each of breeder (syn 1), foundation (syn 2) and certified (syn 3) seed classes. Certified seed (syn 2 or 3) may be produced from either breeder or foundation classes. A 1, 3 and 6 year stand life is permitted on fields producing breeder, foundation and certified seed classes respectively. Foundation seed production is limited to the Pacific Northwest. Breeder seed was produced in 1998. ABI will maintain sufficient seed stocks for the life of the variety.

6.  Certified seed will be available in 2004.

7.  Plant Variety Protection will not be applied for.
