PI 634709. Saccharum sp.Cultivar. "CP 89-2376". CV-122. Pedigree - Parentage unknown because itsidentifying tag was lost in an intermediate selection stage. Stalks havea heavy wax layer, are yellow-green under the leaf sheath, and aremaroon in areas exposed to the sun. Light green growth ring and buds donot touch (subtend) the growth ring. Shows field resistance in Floridato eye spot (Bipolaris sacchari), rust (Puccinia melanocephala), smut(Ustilago scitaminea), leaf scald (Xanthomonas albilineans), andsugarcane mosaic virus strain E. Moderately resistant to ratoon stuntingdisease (Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli). Fiber content of 10.2%. Toleranceto high water tables during the growing season. Vegetatively propagated.The following were developed by Kevin B.

Bromus riparius RehmannCultivar. "CACHE". CV-22; PVP 200500277. Pedigree - Selections from PI578532 (Regar; 20.9%), PI 536012 (Fleet; 54.1%), and PI 536013 (Paddock;25%) were open pollinated and subjected to two cycles of selection. Ameadow bromegrass producing significantly more dry matter than Fleet atall irrigation rates and significantly more dry matter than Regar at thetwo lowest irrigation rates, under a line-source study with irrigationrates that ranged from 10.1 to 36.8 mm per week. Yielded significantlymore total dry matter than orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata) on anirrigated site in northern Utah, under repeated defoliation (6-harvestsper year). Evaluated in the Northern Plains Regional Trials at Bluecreek,UT; Green Canyon, UT; Mead, NE; Sidney, NE; Mandon, ND; and Miles City, MTfor dry matter forage production and percent stand. Producedsignificantly more dry matter forage than cvs. of meadow bromegrass,orchardgrass, and smooth bromegrass (Bromus inermis), when combined oversix locations and three years. Similar to Regar in establishment andpersistence, but significantly better than other meadow bromegrass cvs.,orchardgrass, and smooth bromegrass. Begins growth early in spring andleaves remain green and succulent longer in the growing season than tallfescue (Festuca arundianceae) and orchardgrass. Seedling rate of 13 to15 kg ha-1 is recommended in area of adaption. Seedling vigor, asindicated by seedling emergence from a deep planting depth (7.6cm),better than Regar and comparable to Fleet and Paddock. Individual seedweight comparable to Fleet and Paddock, but significantly heavier thanRegar. Produced 500 kg of seed ha-1 when grown in rows 0.76 m apart onan irrigated site. Approx. 188,679 seeds per kg at 100% purity.The following were developed by J.M.
