FEATURES:
• EverGlade is Jacklin Seed’s top scoring Kentucky bluegrass
• Tied for #1 across all NTEP locations in overall quality in the 2000 NTEP trials
• The #1 variety at sports turf heights of 1 to 2-inch mowing
• The #1 variety in the Transition Zone

PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS:
• EverGlade Follows In An Impressive “Glade” Legacy: EverGlade is the third variety in the Glade family of top varieties and is by far the most impressive. In the 2000 NTEP (2000-02 data), EverGlade tied for #1 nationwide (out of 173 entries). It ranked among the very top varieties across Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Missouri, Virginia, Washington, and Wyoming. It showed superior performance in the Northeast, Midwest, and Mountain West regions in overall quality. In the tough Transition Zone, EverGlade scored higher than any other bluegrass.

• EverGlade Sets A New Standard For Disease Resistance: EverGlade earned its top NTEP credentials by resisting a broader pest spectrum than any previous Kentucky bluegrass variety. A research breakthrough dramatically improved the stem and leaf rust resistance in EverGlade – these diseases are two of Kentucky bluegrass’s toughest foes. EverGlade has more resistance to rust and other pests than other top bluegrass varieties (details below). And better pest resistance means less blemishes and fewer pesticides.

• Naturally Dark Green, Dense, and Fine Bladed: EverGlade Kentucky bluegrass is genetically dark green and dense, with an attractive appearance – by itself or in combinations with fescue or perennial ryegrass.

DISEASE AND PEST TOLERANCE:
Superior – Stem rust, leaf rust, leaf spot
Excellent – Anthracnose, dollar spot, red thread, necrotic ring spot, summer patch
Good – Microdochium pink snow mold, Poa annua, brown patch, powdery mildew

DEVELOPMENT
EverGlade was developed by Doug Brede, Ph.D., at Jacklin Seed’s world-class bluegrass breeding facilities in Idaho. EverGlade originated from hybrid cross 92-4230 with breeding line 92-0076 as the mother plant.
