Description:
UA 5213C originated from the cross between University of Arkansas breeding lines R98-1523 and R93-171. Both parental lines had reasonable yields and were fairly well adapted to Arkansas. The cross R98-1523 x R93-171 was made in the field during the summer of 2001 in Fayetteville, AR. The F1 plants were grown in the summer of 2002 in Fayetteville, AR. The subsequent segregating plant populations were advanced from the F2 to the F4 generations using using the modified single-pod descent method.
