Characteristics
About
With in-built ergot resistance using KWS’ PollenPlus technology, coupled with rhynchosporium & brown rust resistance, KWS Propower is 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.
