About
Introducing KWS Flute, the new early sown specialist from KWS for growers looking to harness soft wheat contracts at harvest 2025. KWS Flute brings all the resilient characteristics needed for northern growers looking to harness soft contracts in their regions – be it biscuit, distilling, export as UKS or feed. The variety has a good all-round disease resistance for this challenging region. Couple these characteristics with good specific weight (78.4kg/hl) and later maturity (+1 days compared with Skyfall) and you have a resilient plant type which is ideal for growers both in the first and second wheat slots. OWBM resistance and yield consistency over contrasting season complete this attractive package. KWS Flute – music to the ears of soft wheat growers!
