Description:
TifGP-2 originated from a cross of C-99R and COAN.. The original population was advanced to the F4 using single seed descent. Individual F4 plants were harvested and the population was subjected to selection pressure for yield, grade, and for resistance to the peanut root-knot nematode and tomato spotted wilt for the next three generations. Tifguard, a cultivar with resistance to the peanut root-knot nematode, was selected from this population. TifGP-2 was developed as a nematode susceptible F4 derived F5 sister line of Tifguard
