For most cultivars, 4.5 kg of foundation seed were obtained. 

 Breeder, registered, or certified seed had to be substituted 

 for several cultivars. This seed is intended for the exclusive 

 use of scientists conducting pest-resistance evaluation 

 tests. Up to 20 g of seed per cultivar will be supplied to a 

 scientist on request. 



Seven germplasm lines are listed also as checks. Because 

 of short supplies of seed, lesser amounts of the germplasm 

 lines can be supplied than for the cultivars. 



Request seed of the check cultivars and germplasm lines 

 from J. H. Elgin, Jr., USDA-ARS, Field Crops Laboratory, 

 Building 001, BARC-West, Beltsville, Md. 20705. 



2 See appendix, p. 37, for approximate levels of 

 pest resistance expected for the check cultivars.
