Corn

The worlds most cultivated crop

Our wide breeding programs cover the temperate zones in Europe, North America, South America and East Asia. These programs focuse on grain corn, silage corn or corn for the ethanol and methane production.

Together with classical breeding goals such as increased yield and disease tolerance, our varieties also adapt to the requests of the changing climatic conditions with drought tolerant varieties. Our seed production follows the highest standards and guarantees the best seed quality for our customers.

Apart from corn seeds, the organizational division Corn also breeds, produces and sells sunflower, sorghum and catch crops.

Detailed information about the country specific products and local consultants can be found on the separate country pages, which you find in the table below.

Corn’s performance as a crop is impressive.

Drought tolerance & ClimaCONTROL3

Under the ClimaCONTROL3 label, KWS offers innovative, drought-tolerant grain corn varieties that derive from a dedicated research and breeding program. The number three in the name stands for the fact that drought stress can have three different impacts on plants depending on the respective growth phase: Before, during or after flowering.

Reduction of CO2 emissions & DryDown+

KWS' DryDown+ grain corn varieties are characterized by a superior dry-down capacity (drying capacity). Internal trials show that the reduction of the crop moisture from 30 to 20 percent at harvest can reduce the necessary drying costs by up to 50 percent. The long-term breeding goal is a grain moisture level of a maximum of 15% at harvest to eliminate the need of drying at all – and also enabling a significant reduction of energy use and CO2 emissions during the drying cycles.
