Comments:

This newer variety from WestBred has medium-late maturity and is positioned primarily for areas north and west of I-35. It had good yields in the western locations of the 2013 and 2014 KSU tests. Good overall leaf disease resistance, with the exception of septoria leaf blotch. It has shown relatively consistent performance in test data so far. However, its top-end yield potential is not as high as that of Armour, WB-Cedar, or Winterhawk. It has shown good grazing potential, even under low pH conditions.

Phillips Seed's Management Tips:

• Good, dependable variety for northern and western Kansas dryland locations.
