About
KWS Harsum is the highest yielding Group 1 breadmaking wheat on the 2026/27 RL. Following on from the successful yield increase growers have experienced using new generation spring wheat from KWS, such as KWS Ladum, Harsum continues the advancing progress introducing midge resistance to a top quality, top yielding variety. Confirmed as a Group 1 wheat by the UK Flour Millers in December 2022, KWS Harsum produces similar grain to established variety Mulika, but with the added benefit of good gluten quality and baking performance, consistent across a range of challenging seasons. In the field, KWS Harsum and has a good solid disease profile with the advantage of OWBM resistance which will be an advantage for many. A similar plant type to KWS Cochise, it’s a short and stiff strawed variety that ripens a day after Mulika.
