LIVERPOOL, N.Y. “Onon dago” is a new variety of head let tuce specifially bred for cultiva tion in New Yoik. Released at the NYS Vegetable Conference on Feb. 10 by plant breeders at Cornell University, it is the only lettuce resistant to both cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and corky root rot. It derives CMV resistance from a wild species of lettuce called Lactuca saligna. “Wild species are very difficult to use in breeding because of then distant relationship,” said Richard W. Robinson, the vegetable breed er at the New York State Agricul tural Experiment Station in Gene va, N.Y. He developed the variety LAND PRIDE THE POWER PACKAGE POWERED RAKES • 72” and 96” models available • 20 degree left or right angling capabilities • Optional Danish Tine Kit with staggered rows • Heavy-duty gauge wheels with sealant • Heat treated matehafcontrol blade The Land Pride family... quality from the ground up.

It resists physiological disorders like bolting and tip bum and is a mid-season variety, ac cording to Robinson. He is the only plant breeder who has even been successful in breeding CMV resistance derived from L. saligna into domestic lettuce. At the same conference, Robin son and Shail also released “Whi taker,” a new variety of squash that also derives its disease resis tance from a wild variety. Thomas L.

No commercial seed com pany would undertake a breeding program so long, difficult, and un certain of success as transferring disease resistance from L. saligna to lettuce, or Cucurbita ecuador ensis to squash. “The squash and lettuce varie ties we are introducing illustrate the importance of conventional breeding at public institutions such as Cornell University,” said Robinson. “Biotechnology can be a very rapid way to breed for some traits, and private seed companies MM FARM EQUIPMENT 1080 MF tractor, 2300 hra, excellent condition, $6060. 717/328-2458. 10' Brill ion seeder Grumellis Farm 717-786-7318 12' JD grain driN w/grass seed boxes, completely re built, best offer. 410/557-6483. 133 Steiner Mixer, new au ger, new gear box. 540-828-4143 135 KW generator, cater pillar set w/Cummins en gine.
