About
New in 2023, KWS Ultimatum is a truly all-round wheat variety that will tick all the boxes on-farm no matter the region you are growing in. In the north, KWS Ultimatum delivers the highest yields of all Group 2 wheats on the current RL, with a yield potential in this region akin to higher yielding feed types. In addition thanks to its UKFM Group 2 rating and UKP approval, growers will be able to access additional market opportunities where available.
