Strengths:

• Moderately Resistant to Hessian Fly
• Consistent Performance
• Intermediate Resistance to Scab

Comments:

Everest has many good traits for Eastern and Central Kansas, Oklahoma, and Nebraska. It has Hessian fly resistance and good tolerance to Scab. It is more resistant to Barley Yellow Dwarf than most varieties, but will become infected under moderate to heavy pressure. Everest seems to tolerate mid-season drought stress well, but does not tolerate early- season drought in the fall. It sets most of its tillers in the fall and needs to get established well and start tillering in the fall to produce high yields.

Phillips Seed's Management Tips:

• Less competitive on yield in 2014, but it still has an excellent yield record over many years.
• Good choice to follow corn, but not for continuous wheat. Also, plan to spray if Stripe Rust is present.
• Kill volunteer wheat to help reduce Wheat Streak Mosaic.
