Characteristics
About
KWS Guium is the perfect wheat to help schedule workloads on farm this year. Suited to being drilled from October onwards, KWS Guium is later maturing (+3) which enables the spreading of the workload at harvest. The excellent sprouting resistance also adds flexibility during this time. With good yellow rust resistance (9) and OWBM, the variety performs well in the East. Whilst a robust fungicide programme is recommended to get the best out of this variety. KWS Guium is one of the few varieties not to be based on Cougar within the Group 3 sector. Therefore, it is a useful addition on farm to increase genetic diversity into the wheat rotation.
