Description:
CPCL 05-1201 was derived from a cross made between sugarcane varieties CL 87-2882 used as the female parent and variety CL 93-2679 used the male parent. The parents were advanced lines that were not released for commercial production. The CL varieties were developed by US Sugar Corporation (USSC), a private company established in Clewiston, FL. CPCL 05-1201 has, in its pedigree, three grandparents (two from the female and one from the male sides) that were important commercial (USSC proprietary) cultivars in Florida. Grandparents on the female side were CP 87-1475 and CP 85-1308; on the male side, the grandparents were CP 52-68 and CP 72-2086. As great grandparents of CPCL 05-1201, `CL 61-0620? and CP 70-1133 were two major cultivars in the Florida industry that contributed genes to the female and male parents, respectively.
