Characteristics
About
New for soft wheat growers is KWS Zealum – a high yielding wheat that boasts a good combination of yellow rust resistance, eyespot resistance and OWBM resistance. KWS Zealum is a shorter type with very stiff straw, and thanks to these attributes will perform very well on heavier land. KWS Zealum offers mainstream maturity with the additional bonus of good resistance to sprouting.
