Narrative
Three replicates of ten plants each of 46 halfsib families of IAMF101 (syn 1 seed) were planted at the three selection locations in semi-sward plots. Ten plant halfsib family plots were space planted in a 2 by 5 plant grid (30cm between plants). Halfsib family plots were separated from each other by 45cm on the plots long axis and 120cm on the plots short axis. Plants were greenhouse established during February 2004 and transplanted to field locations in early May 2004. At the two Wisconsin locations halfsib machine harvestable dry matter yield and plant height was taken on halfsib plots on: June 1, 2005; June 27, 2005; and July 26, 2005. Based on halfsib family dry matter yield data 17 of 46 halfsib families were selected (among halfsib family selection intensity 37% or k = 1.02). A low among halfsib family selection intensity was used to maintain population genetic diversity. In early September 2005 at all three selection locations individual plant fresh weights were taken on all plants in the 17 selected halfsib families. At each location within each halfsib family the two heaviest plants were selected (within halfsib family selection intensity 6.5% or k = 1.95). In early autumn 2005 the 102 selected plants from all three locations were combined in the US Dairy Forage Research Center greenhouse and allowed to reach full bloom. Bumblebees (Bombus impatiens) were used to open pollinate plants for several months. Some supplemental hand-pollination was accomplished as well. Halfsib seed was harvested from individual plants and equal quantities of halfsib seed of 66 of the 102 selected plants were bulked to form syn 1 cycle 3 seed. A small quantity of syn 1 seed was planted in Idaho in April 2006 were syn 2 seed was grown using alfalfa leafcutter bees (Megachile rotundata) and harvested in autumn 2006.

Description:
`IAFAL-C3? represents a further cycle of recurrent selection out of IAMF101 germplasm (Cycle 2) (PI 643446). `IAFAL-C3? represents the third cycle of recurrent selection in a closed population, since population formation in 1999. `IAFAL-C3? parents were selected out of IAMF101 nurseries planted at the: US Dairy Forage Research Center Dairy at Prairie du Sac, WI; University of Wisconsin-Madison, Agricultural Research Station at Arlington, WI; and Iowa State University Agronomy and Agricultural
