KWS Arnie

✚ A new High yielding Group-2 milling type

✚ Similar to KWS Extase in disease resistance and agronomy

Variety Positioning

• A new Group 2 milling-type that is similar to but higher yielding than KWS Extase.

• It has high yields in both AHDB (106% treated, 87% untreated) and Agrii trials (108% treated, 65% treated), bold grain (79.1 kg/hl) and high HFN (287s).  

• With a relatively low protein content (12.1%) it might be used as a blending wheat but is unsuitable for export under ukp.

• Suitable for all regions of the UK.  

• It is best grown on heavier and drilled in the main drilling window with its optimum performance no later than the end of October.  

• Average height (88 cm) and reasonably stiff straw (7) (7) treated and (8) (6) untreated and early maturity (0).  

• Avoid areas of high sterility risk until more information is available but its second wheat performance is quite acceptable.  

• Similar disease ratings to KWS Extase with evidence that resistance to both yellow rust (7) (5) and Septoria tritici (7) (6) is slipping and equally susceptible to stem-based diseases.

• Reasonable resistance against mildew (5) (4), brown rust (6) (6) but average against eyespot (4.5) with no PCH1 resistance.

• It is not resistant to orange wheat blossom midge.
