Plants were selected for one or more of the following traits; Phytophthora root rot, Verticillium wilt, anthracnose (race 1), blue alfalfa aphid, pea aphid and spotted alfalfa aphid. Germplasm sources used in developing CutMor were DK189 (60%), Condor (30%) and Tahoe(10%). Breeder seed (Syn 1) was produced near Nampa, Idaho in 1994. Seed was harvested in total on all parents and bulked to form breeder seed. Approximate germplasm source contributions are: M. falcata (1%), Ladak (5%), M. varia (6%), Turkistan (20%), Flemish (7%), Chilean (6%), Peruvian (3%), Indian (17%), African(30%) and unknown (5%).

5. Seed increase is on a limited generation basis with one generation of breeder and two generations of foundation and certified seed classes. Breeder (Syn 1), foundation (Syn 2 or Syn 3), and certified (Syn 3 or Syn 4) classes wilt be recognized. Production of Syn 3 foundation seed requires consent of the breeder. Breeder seed was produced near Nampa, Idaho in 1994. Sufficient foundation seed for the projected life of the variety will be maintained by Forage Genetics. Stands of foundation and certified seed fields are limited to 3and 6 year, respectively.
6. Certified seed will be marketed in 1998.
