Key Strengths
WB9707 possesses excellent yield potential and standability, excellent protein content, excellent milling and baking quality, excellent straw strength, and very good resistance to Yellow (Stripe) Rust.
"WB9707 was in four of my large-variety strip trials (in southern Idaho and Montana) in 2019. It looked really good all season long with big heads and kernels that really got your attention. It’s a high-protein, high-yield combination."
Recommended for southern Idaho and the Montana Region
