While still in the experimental stage, Persist was included in variety trials at Lexington and Princeton, KY in 1993 and 1994.  The plots were seeded in mid-September 1992.  Ten years later, Persist was included in variety trials at Lexington and Quicksand, KY in a trial sown in September and October 2003, respectively. Then in 2006 trials were planted again in Quicksand, and Lexington. Finally, more trials were planted in 2007.
