Origin & Breeding History: '9551' was developed by Svalöf Weibull AB, Svalöv, Sweden.The variety was derived from a cross made in 1998, with selections made in the F2 based on quality traits and blackleg tolerance. Pedigree selection was performed in subsequent generations with one of the last selections being the original plant of '9551'. Breeder seed multiplication began on the F5 generation.

Tests & Trials: Tests and trials were conducted during the summers of 2004 and 2005 at Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Plots consisted of 2 replicates of 8 rows spaced 15 cm apart, were 1.75 metres wide and 3.25 metres long. Plots were laid out in randomized complete block design.
