Evaluation location: Iowa, United States
Environment for accessions grown in Ames during the summer of 2007 and transplanted. Planted between 04-MAY-2007 to 18-MAY-2007 in growth chambers and transplanted between 17-MAY-2007 and 26-JUN-2007 in NCRPIS field N-6. Days and growing degree days to silk may be unusual due to the unusual handling during establishment. First pollinations across all Ames environments for the summer of 2007 were performed on 27-JUN-2007. There were 42,700 plants available to plant in all summer 2007 nurseries.
Pathology notes were extensive. No exotic diseases were noted. Where each lot was observed, specific notes on Stewart's wilt and Goss's wilt and other diseases including virus diseases were obtained and recorded for each accession inventory. None of the exotic downy mildews were observed.
