Characteristics

Strengths

This is the first variety into the UK to have our CR+ trait. This offers unrivalled protection to the devasting disease, cercospora. CHYMA KWS is the highest-yielding variety on the 2027 BBRO Recommended List, combining exceptional yield with excellent disease tolerance and good sugar content. Its combined disease ratings, or Total Agronomic Merit, make it the cleanest non-CONVISO® SMART variety available. Despite its strong disease package, a robust fungicide programme using a range of active substances remains essential.
