Characteristics
About
KWS Palladium is the new and exciting addition to the UK domestic bread markets. It is a super clean variety with one of the highest untreated yields on the market today thanks to its scores for Septoria (7.4), mildew (8), yellow rust (9) and eyespot ([6]). Importantly, its Septoria resistance has a different genetic basis than other commercialised Group 2 varieties. This early to mature variety (-1) is short and stiff with great resistance to sprouting, giving growers security at harvest. In addition, KWS Palladium has good yield potential across all the regions and performs well in both the first (99%) and second wheat (100%) slots. Breeder comment: Suited to earlier drilling than KWS Extase, KWS Palladium and Extase make good on-farm partners for growers targeting the Group 2 market sector or adding quality grain to the feed heap.
