Description:
G09PR-80 was developed from a cross of 5601T x PI 157440 that was made in summer 2006. 5601T was developed from Hutcheson x TN89-39. Seeds from individual F2 plants were advanced to the F5 generation using single seed descent method. From 2009 to 2011, 150 lines of 5601T x PI 157440 were evaluated at seven environments. G09PR-80 was selected based on its agronomic and yield performances and evaluated in four environments in 2011.
