Performance of PD 97000 Series Germplasm Lines and Notice of their Release

O. Lloyd May


 
ABSTRACT

Seven Pee Dee germplasm lines were released in 2000. These lines represent continued efforts to simultaneously improve lint yield and fiber properties by out-crossing Pee Dee lines to high yield and quality germplasm. Female parents of the released lines are previously released Pee Dee lines PD-3-14, PD 5256, PD 5377, PD 5472, and PD 5582, while male parents include MD14-B, bred by Bill Meredith, USDA-ARS, GA 88-133, bred by Shelby Baker, University of Georgia, HB 92-44, bred by Hollybrook Gin Co., and ‘SG501’, bred by Bob Bridge, SureGrow Seed. All the Pee Dee lines have acceptable fiber properties, while PD 97019, PD 97021, and PD 97100 have the best combination of yield and yield stability. Seed (25g) of each germplasm line are available upon written request to: Dr. Lloyd May, University of Georgia, Coastal Plain Station, P.O. Box 748, Tifton, GA.
