About
Awesome Dawsum!, The excellent barn-filling choice. New from KWS is a hard Group 4 wheat that offers growers the ultimate in flexibility on-farm, delivering fantastic yields right across the early, mainstream and late sown slots (108%, 104% and 104% in KWS trials sown September, October and end of November, respectively). Couple these benefits with the excellent disease package. The variety delivers an untreated yield second only to KWS Extase and includes 6.3 for Septoria and 9 for yellow rust. Add in the exceptionally marketable grain and you have a truly D-awesome variety which will earn itself a place on every farm this season!
