Interpretive Summary: Creel six-rowed spring feed barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) (Reg. no. CV-..., PI 632274) was developed cooperatively by the USDA-ARS and the Idaho Agricultural Experiment Station. It was formally released by the USDA-ARS, the Idaho AES, and the Oregon AES in January 2005. Creel is an early to mid-season, covered, white aleurone, six-rowed spring barley with medium-lax, erect spikes, smooth awns, and long rachilla hairs. It is adapted to dryland production areas in Idaho and eastern Oregon, and has good production under irrigation in southeastern Idaho. Creel is from the cross M44/80Ab4952//79Ab10719. Creel originated at Aberdeen, ID as a F3 selection in 1993 and was identified as 93Ab688 prior to release. Breeder seed of Creel originated as a bulk increase of seed from 700 head rows grown at the University of Idaho Tetonia Research and Extension Center. Breeder¿s seed of Creel was increased in 2000, and foundation seed was produced in 2001. Genetic material of this release has been deposited in the USDA-ARS National Plant Germplasm System where it will be available for research purposes, including development and commercialization of new cultivars. Breeder and Foundation seed of Creel will be maintained by the Idaho Agricultural Experiment Station, Foundation Seed Program. Requests for Foundation seed should be directed to the Coordinator, Foundation Seed Program, College of Agriculture, Kimberly Research and Extension Center, 3793 N 3600 E, Kimberly, Idaho 83341.
