Variety Positioning

  • RGT Guardsman is BYDV resistant feed wheat from RAGT and much higher yields and better agronomic package than earlier varieties.

  • It's yield level is more in touch with current feed wheats at 103%, almost exactly the same in both 2023 and 2024.

  • It has average physical grain quality (75.6kg/hl and 10.1% protein.

  • It is a good choice for those seeking BYDV resistance in a competitive feed and is is much better than everything we have had before.

  • RGT Guardsman has relatively tall straw similar Santiago so it requires a decent PGR programme.

  • Reasonably good all-round disease resistance against mildew (6), yellow rust (7), brown rust (6), Septoria tritici (5.7) and Eyespot (5). Unlike earlier BYDV resistant varieties. 

  • it does not have orange wheat blossom midge resistance.
