In the last cycle of selection, plants were selected for Phytophthora root rot and stem nematode resistance. 2. 59N49 is adapted to southwest region of the United States, Argentina, and Australia and intended for use in the southwest region of the United States, Argentina, Australia, Mexico and southern Europe. 3. 59N49 is a nondormant cultivar with a fall dormancy similar to FD-9 check. Flower color of the Syn 2 generation is 96% purple, 4% variegated with a trace of yellow, cream and white. 4. 59N49 is highly resistant to Phytophthora root rot, spotted alfalfa aphid, pea aphid, northern and southern root knot nematode..

Breeders seed (Syn 1) was produced in 1994 and 1995 on parent plants in "cage isolation" and bulked. Seed classes wil1 be breeder, foundation (Syn 2 or Syn 3) and certified (Syn 2, Syn 3, or Syn 4). Foundation seed may be produced from breeder or foundation. The second generation foundation (Syn 3) may be produced at the discretion of Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc. Limitations on age of stand will be one, three, and five years respectively for breeder, foundation seed and certified seed. Sufficient breeder and/or foundation seed for the projected life of the variety will be maintained by Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc. 6. Certified seed will first be offered for sale in 2002. 7. Will application be made for protection under the Plant Variety Protection Act, and if so, will the certification option be requested? Yes 8.
