Medium-late variety with excellent yield potential with an overall very good disease package. WB 4699 is overall one of the best varieties against head scab. WB 4699 holds winter dormancy well and has excellent 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 stands out in the production. WB 4699 was once again a top performing variety this year in North Central Kansas.
