About
KWS Alicium brings something new on-farm and in the mill with high quality German wheat in its parentage. It produces the best combination of grain characteristics on the current RL, with high protein (13.2%), excellent HFN (341) and outstanding specific weight (80.6kg/hl). In baking evaluations, the millers noted that the variety produces good, strong gluten quality making it a useful addition to many grists in the bakery. In the field, KWS Alicium has exceptionally high yield performance, at 103.6% of controls producing yields just behind commercialised feed spring varieties. It also boasts an excellent disease package including [8] for mildew and 6.4 for Septoria resistance. This is further complimented with OWBM resistance. KWS Alicium is a taller variety, at 84cm height but stiff strawed and offers growers the benefits of an early harvest, always an advantage when managing workloads at this busy time.
