Origin & Breeding History: '5PPVJ55' originated from a cross between the varieties 'XB007F10' and 'MONRR2YDT0.3', conducted in 2013 in Johnston, Iowa using the pedigree method of plant breeding. From 2013 to 2016, eight generations were advanced between Johnston, Iowa, Salinas, Puerto Rico and Carman, Manitoba. The F1 line was harvested in bulk, followed by modified single seed descent selection and multiple single plant selections. Line purification rows were selected and harvested in bulk in 2016. Selection criteria included yield, maturity, seed quality traits, herbicide tolerance and pest resistance. '5PPVJ55' was selected at the F8 generation. Breeder seed production commenced in 2016.

Tests & Trials: The comparative trial for '5PPVJ55' conducted in Holland, Manitoba during the 2021 growing season was planted in a RCB design and consisted of 3 replicates for each variety. Plots consisted of 4 rows, 5 metres in length and a row spacing of 76 cm. The trial consisted of 600 plants per variety. Results were supported by the official technical examination report 202200033, purchased from the Plant Variety Protection Office, in Washington, District of Columbia, USA.
