Strengths:

• Resistant to Leaf Rust
• Excellent Yield Potential
• Good Test Weight
• Tolerant to Acid Soils

Comments:

This newer variety from WestBred looks very promising for central and eastern Kansas. WB-Redhawk is resistant to Leaf Rust, but moderately susceptible to Stripe Rust. Be prepared to apply a fungicide to protect yield potential. An unusually nice looking variety, with medium height and a very even canopy.

Phillips Seed's Management Tips:

• Excellent 2014 KSU yield trials performance in locations within its area of adaptation.
• Control volunteer well before planting and plant after the "fly free" date.
• Spray when Powdery Mildew or Stripe Rust is present.
• Not the best choice for continuous wheat or after corn.
• Keep your eye on this variety - excellent yield potential where adapted.
