KWS Feeris

✚ Conventional 6-row with BYDV tolerance

✚ Moderately stiff straw and lower lodging risk

Variety Positioning

• A conventional 6-row variety with the added benefit of BYDV tolerance.

• Tolerance allows growers to reduce insecticide use or better protect yield in high-risk situations. Yielding at the same level as SY Kingsbarn and Belfry over the past three years (104% treated, 82% untreated) with average specific weight (69.2 kg/hl) and low screening losses.

• BSPB Trait Protection Scheme means a slight increase in royalty for the trait and follows a different approach to the BIPO scheme.

• Suitable for the South, West, North and other areas where BYDV is a significant problem.

• KWS Feeris can be grown on any soil type but it performs better on heavier soils.

• Not as tall as other hybrids (97 cm untreated, 102 cm untreated), moderately stiff straw (7) and lower lodging risk.

• Average competitiveness against grass weeds and medium-late maturity.

• Good resistance to net blotch (6) (6) and Rhynchosporium (6) (7) but weak against mildew (5) (4) and brown rust (6) (3).

• Resistant to barley yellow mosaic virus.
