Both experimental varieties exhibited excellent persistence and yield potential in forage yield tests at Bakersfield, CA. The two populations were recombined and screened for resistance to blue alfalfa aphid, stem nematode, and anthracnose. Germplasm traces primarily to WL 51 Z WL 450, WL 504, and WL 600. Approximate germplasm source contributions are: M. falcata - 3%, Ladak - 2%,M.~ia - 7%, Turkistan - 15%, Flemish - 5%, Chilean - 15%, Indian - 31%, and African - 22%.

,2) WL 457 is a non-dormant variety adapted for use ir the southern U.S. for hay, haylage, and dehydration purposes. WL 457 has been tested for forage yield in California and Georgia.

3) Fall dormancy is similar to Mesilla. Flower color is 99% purple and 1% variegated. Midsummer and fall growth is erect.

4) WL 457 has high resistance to spotted alfalfa aphid, blue alfalfa aphid, pea aphid, stem nematode, Fusarium wilt, and Phytophthora root rot; resistance to southern root knot nematode CM. incoanita) moderate resistance to bacterial wilt; and low resistance to anthracnose and Verticillium wilt.

5) Seed increase is on a limited generation basis with one generation of breeder and two generations each of Foundation and Certified seed casses. Breeder (Syn 1), Foundation (Syn 2 or Syn 3), and Certified (Syn 3 or Syn 4) classes will be recognized. Production of Syn 3 Foundation seed requires the consent of the breeder. Breeder seed was produced under cage isolation at Bakersfield, CA. Sufficient Foundation seed for the projected life of the variety will be maintained by W~.. Research.

6) Certified seed will be marketed in 1990.

7) No decision has been made concerning Plant Variety Protection.

AMENDMENT SUMMARY -- accepted 1994

Amended

1) WL 525 HO is a 120-plant synthetic variety resulting from phenotypic recurrent selection for high forage quality (high crude protein, low acid and neutral detergent fibers) using Near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy (NIRS). Source material traces to three experimental lines selected for persistence in a field nursery at Bakersfield, CA. Parental gemiplasm traces to WL 516, 86-222, Ca 898, and Maxidor. Approximate germplasm source contributions are: M. varia - 5%; Turkistan - 11%; Flemish - 4%; Chilean - 10%; Peruvian - 11%; Indian - 29%; and African - 30%.

2) WL 525 HO is adapted to central and south central California and intended for use in the southwestern U.S. WL 525 HO has been yield tested in California.

3) WL 525 HO is a non-dormant variety with fall dormancy similar to Moapa 69. Flower color at Syn 2 is 99% purple and 1 % cream with traces of variegated and white. WL 525 HO appears to have high forage quality (high crude protein, low acid and neutral detergent fibers) when compared to some commercially available non-dormant varieties.

4) WL 525 HO has high resistance to Fusarium wilt, Phytophthora root rot, blue alfalfa aphid, pea aphid, spotted alfalfa aphid, and southern root knot nematode CM. incognita) resistance to stem nematode; and moderate resistance to bacterial wilt. Reaction to anthracnose (Race 1), Verticilliurn wilt, and Aphanornyces root rot (Race 1) have not been adequately tested.

5) Breeder seed (Syn 1) was produced in 1990 on 120 plants under cage isolation at Bakersfield, CA. Sufficient Foundation (Syn 2) seed was produced near Yuma, AZ for the expected life of the variety and will be maintained by W-L Research. One generation of Breeder (Syn 1) and two generations each of Foundation (Syn 2 or 3) and Certified (Syn 3 or 4) seed are recognized. The maximum permitted length of stand for Foundation and Certified seed fields are 3 and 5 years, respectively. Production of Syn 3 Foundation seed requires consent of the breeder.

6) Certified seed will be marketed in 1993.

7) lt is undecided whether application will be made for Plant Variety Protection.

8) The information in this application is available to the PVP office.
