KWS UK’s team actively selects, tests, and markets varieties bred by a number of different national teams and cooperative partners from across the EU.
We have a long history of new variety introduction going back to Apache, and have been at the forefront in new developments in oilseeds, including Clubroot resistance as in Mendel, High Erucic Acid Rapes and of course hybrid varieties.
From early hybrid introductions such as Synergy to later types based on OGURA and MSL systems, KWS UK has continued to provide growers not only with superior products, but also with agronomic advice on how to maximise the potential which hybrids can offer.
We continue our efforts to bring growers both open pollinating (e.g. Komando) and hybrid types and have significant UK based breeding, selection and testing activities to support this as part of the European KWS OSR breeding team.
