Description:
A cross named ‘CP X09-0996’, was created in mid-December 2009 as part of the CP cooperative breeding program at the USDA-ARS Sugarcane Field Station, produced CP 12-2035. The mating was between CP 99-1896 and Poly 09-26. The female parent, CP 99-1896, was a promising advanced breeding line but was never released from the program. The name of the male ‘parent’, Poly 09-26, suggests it was the 26th poly-cross created in 2009.
