RGT Guardsman is a group 4 hard winter wheat which is semi-exclusive to Agrovista.
RGT Guardsman is a candidate for the RL and is the first BYDV tolerant variety that has a consistent yield equal to current conventional feed varieties. This eradicates the margin risk associated with previous BYDV lines.
Independent VL1 trials in the absence of BYDV register RGT Guardsman matching yields of Gleam and outperforming LG Skyscraper.
Where BYDV has been present RGT Guardsman is the highest yielding of all Genserus lines.
Early indication are that it has a generally good profile of disease resistance, a high untreated yield and early maturity.
Based on limited data the use of a PGR would be beneficial.
