Origin & Breeding History: 'S23-T5' was developed from the cross 74222 / 38154 made in Owatonna, Minnesota in the summer of 2000. Generations F1-F2 were grown in a winter nursery in Kekaha, Hawaii in the fall of 2000-2001. The F3 was grown in Owatonna, Minnesota in the summer of 2001. The F4-F5 generation were grown in a winter nursery in Kekaha, Hawaii in the fall of 2001-2002. The F6 generation was grown in Owatonna, Minnesota in the summer of 2002 where single plants were selected. The progeny of these plants were grown in a single replicate trial in Owatonna, Minnesota in the summer of 2003. One of these lines was identified as 03KL015303 and was selected based on superior agronomic attributes and retained for further testing. 03KL015303 was subsequently tested in multiple environments in Canada and the USA until 2006 and was known in the final testing stages as XC2370.

Tests & Trials: Tests and trials were conducted in Arva, Ontario during the years 2007-2009. Plots consisted of 2 rows with a row length of 4 metres and row spacing of 75 cm. There were two replicates.
