A high performing spring wheat, KWS Cochise has good grain quality, including a specific weight of 79kg/hl and good protein content to serve milling contracts (13.4%). In the field, the variety is tall but stiff-strawed with a solid disease profile, including the added benefits of OWBM resistance and resistance to Soil Borne Wheat Mosaic Virus.
