The CD 99-2227 line was obtained through the crossing of varieties from an Australian and South American genetic pool, and was tested on harvests 00/01, 01/02, 02/03, and 03/04 in the experimental networks of the following states: Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Goiás, Minas Gerais, Bahia, Maranhão, Paraná, and São Paulo.
