Characteristics
About
KWS Solitaire brings you one of the most complete agronomic packages available for the soft winter wheat market. The true jewel in the crown, KWS Solitaire brings high yield and gross margin opportunities for all growers with access to all soft wheat markets from biscuit to distilling to export and feed. Outstanding yields are achieved no matter the site nor the season – with best performances to date seen in the West where, at (107% controls), it out-yields Bamford. In addition, KWS Solitaire has a high untreated yield (87% of treated controls) thanks to its excellent set of disease characteristics including a 6 for yellow rust, 6.4 for Septoria and 5 for Fusarium ear blight. KWS Solitaire has the added bonus of OWBM resistance.
