Cornell University developed. Selected from the same branching-root material as SEEDWAY varieties Regen and 9558. 1st alfalfa variety with any resistance to snout beetle. Undergone 7 cycles of selection and evaluated under conditions where alfalfa snout beetle is naturally present. Exhibits improved yield performance under snout beetle pressure. Well adapted to Northeast growing conditions and environments. Use as part as a comprehensive snout beetle management plan including nematode control. 9558SBR showed 39% of plants had class 1, 2, and 3 resistance to snout beetle when root damage was rated on a 5 class scale (1=no root damage).
