Narrative
Cedar Creek switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) was selected for increased winter survivorship for three generations, using surviving plants from 'Kanlow'. The first two generations were conducted at multiple locations in Wisconsin and the third generation was conducted at the Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve, East Bethel, MN. All Seed production and increases were conducted by either Illinois State University or the University of Illinois. Field evaluations of the third-generation population were conducted at five locations in Wisconsin between 2017 and 2021, located within USDA hardiness zones 3 to 5. Field experiments were planted in both 2016 and 2017. Averaged over the five locations and all trial years, Cedar Creek had 91% ground cover, compared to 96% for Cave-in-Rock, 95% for Shawnee, and 91% for Liberty. Biomass yield of Cedar Creek averaged 12.17 Mg/ha, 20% higher than Liberty, 30% higher than Cave-in-Rock, 31% higher than Shawnee, and 520% higher than Kanlow. Cedar Creek is a high-biomass lowland-type of switchgrass, the first lowland-type adapted to USDA hardiness zones 3 to 5. Cedar Creek was released to the public by USDA-ARS in 2021. Syn2 seed was produced and will be maintained by the University of Illinois.

Pedigree
Description:
Cedar Creek is the result of three generations of selection for winter survivorship within the cultivar Kanlow, all conducted in USDA hardiness zones 3 or 4 (Wisconsin or Minnesota). Numbers of selected individuals were: 37, 76, and 24 in the three generations. Selection intensities were approximately 0.001, 0.0025, and 0.01 for the three generations. Syn1 and Syn2 seed of Cedar Creek were produced at the University of Illinois.
