New in 2022 from KWS is a hard Group 4 wheat that offers growers the ultimate flexibility on-farm, delivering fantastic yields right across the rotation if you are drilling early (107%), mainstream (104%) or late sown slots ([104%]). Combine these benefits with the excellent disease package, the variety delivers an untreated yield (95%) second only to KWS Extase and includes 6.4 for Septoria and 9 for yellow rust.
