Description:
34-clone synthetic originating from Oneida VR (75%) and Flemish germplasm that were selected for resistance to bacterial wilt (Clavibacter michiganense), fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum), verticillium wilt, (Verticillium albo-atrum), anthracnose (Race 1) (Colletotrichum trifolii), and phytophthora root rot (Phytophthora megasperma). This selection was followed by one cycle of phenotypic selection in the field for plant vigor and lower forage neutral detergent fiber concentration in the second production year.
