Description:
'Carolina Cream' was derived from a single plant selection of CR 17-1-34, a breeding line released in 1975 by the USDA as a source of resistance to Cercospora leaf spot (Cercospora cruenta Sacc.). CR 17-1-34 was derived from the cross Ala. 963.8 x 'Floricream'. Ala. 963.8 and 'Floricream' both exhibit resistances to the cowpea curculio (Chalcodermus aeneus Boehman) and Cercospora leaf spot
