WB 4401 offers excellent yield potential; excellent milling and baking quality with very good protein content; excellent forage yield potential; and a strong disease resistance package. We see WB 4401 becoming a top performer across a wide swath of acres from NC Oklahoma throughout KS. WB 4401 has proven to be #1 performing variety again in 2021. It is a must plant.

This new variety brings excellent yield potential in the past two years of testing. Excellent test weight and straw strength make for good harvesting variety in high yielding environments. Good resistance to leaf rust and head scab, however stripe rust resistance has fallen off in 2021. When fungicide is applied in the university trials, AG Radical was at the top of the trials. AG Radical offers high protein potential for premium markets. We think AG Radical offers a great blending option, as well as for planting behind corn.

AG Icon is a top performing variety from K-State that is broadly adapted for Kansas, Oklahoma, and northern Texas and is one of the most dominating varieties across the state yield trials. Excellent straw strength, resistance to leaf rust, and intermediate to stripe rust. We see AG Icon quickly becoming a top variety with its drought tolerance in 2018 and top end performance since 2016.

This is a medium-late variety with excellent yield potential and overall very good disease package. WB 4699 holds winter dormancy well and has exceptional straw strength. To help maximize grain protein, a fertility management program like VariMax is recommended with in season applications. WB 4699’s ability to add on late spring tillers stood out in 2019 spring. We see WB 4699 being a #1 hit in northcentral KS with AG Icon. WB 4699 is a CSO variety.
