Certified Wheat Seed is the industry standard of meeting a set of known criteria ensuring varietal purity. At Ohlde Seed, we've taken this to a higher standard and created the Ohlde Gold Standard on the wheat varieties we offer. As the comparison chart below demonstrates, we've taken Certified Wheat Seed standards and established the Ohlde Gold Standard. It is our belief that attaining this level of purity and quality gives our family of producers the best opportunity to optimize germination rates and out yield any other brand in the market today

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.

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.
