Comments:

Hot Rod is a new hard red winter wheat variety developed by Kansas State University and licensed to AGSECO in 2014. It is best adapted to Central and Eastern Kansas and Oklahoma. Hot Rod was licensed to AGSECO with the stipulation that it could only be marketed as a component of a blend with one or more other varieties. In three years of yield testing, Hot Rod is 10% higher yielding than Everest.

Phillips Seed's Management Tips:

• Not the best choice for continuous wheat.
• Better than most against scab, so a decent option to follow corn.
• Plant after the "fly free" date.
