Characteristics
About
KWS Tardis, the 2-row winter feed variety that has become a firm favourite. Alongside its superb yield consistency over very different trialling years, it performs particularly well on heavy soil (105%) and has excellent straw strength with twin 8s for resistance to lodging (with and without PGR). But it doesn’t stop there, KWS Tardis has an excellent disease package, boasting 6 for Rhynchosporium and brown rust. It has a 5 for net blotch and a good untreated yield (84% treated controls). It’s also early to mature (0 days +/- LG Caravelle) and delivers marketable grain with a very good specific weight (70.6 kg/hl) and low screenings. In short, KWS Tardis has it all – yields, stem stiffness, grain quality, performance across the rotation and a good disease package – KWS Tardis - why plant anything else?
