1.
CW 9701 is an advanced generation synthetic variety of Ladino type white
clover with 162 parent plants. Parent plants were selected for
persistence from a replicated grazing test following two years of close
continuous grazing with high stocking rates of beef cattle at Eatonton,
Georgia. Parentage of CW 9701 traces to the following varieties: CW 190
(54%), SRVR (27%), Regal (6%), Osceola (4%), and miscellaneous Cal/West
Seeds breeding populations (9%). Breeder seed (Syn. 1) was produced
under field isolation near Woodland, California in 1997. Three
vegetative cuttings from each of the 162 parent plants were established
to produce the breeder seed. Seed was bulk harvested from all parent
plants. 2.
CW 9701 is adapted to the Southeast, East Central, and Moderately
Winterhardy Intermountain areas of the U.S.
It is intended for use in the Southeast, East Central, and North
Central areas of the U.S. CW
9701 has been tested in California, Georgia, and Kentucky.
The intended use of CW 9701 is for hay, haylage, greenchop, or
pasture, primarily in mixtures with forage grasses. 3.
CW 9701 is
ear1ier in maturity and has a higher frequency of plants without leaf markings
compared to 4.
Seed increase of CW 9701 is on a limited generation basis with one
generation of breeder and two generations of the foundation and
certified seed classes. Breeder (Syn. 1), foundation (Syn. 2 or Syn. 3),
and certified (Syn. 3 or Syn. 4) classes will be recognized. Production
of Syn. 3 foundation seed requires consent of the breeder. Breeder seed
was produced under field isolation near Woodland, California in 1997.
Sufficient foundation seed for the projected life of the variety will be
maintained by Cal/West Seeds. Stands of foundation and certified seed
fields are limited to 2 and 4 years, respectively. 5.
Certified seed of CW 9701 will be available in 2004. 6.
No decision has been made regarding Plant Variety Protection. 7.
