Characteristics
About
With in-built ergot resistance using KWS’ PollenPlus technology, coupled with rhynchosporium & brown rust resistance, KWS hybrids are agronomically secure. Rye has ultra-low take-all carryover and is aggressive in reducing blackgrass populations, and it’s ideal as a second cereal or addition to all arable rotations. *1 Unit = 1 Mio. Viable Seeds – packed in multiples of 12Un. (Equivalent to approx. 500 kg bulk bag) dep on TGW
