Winter wheat variety KWS Ultim is a high-yielding, medium-early variety of French breeding, intended for cultivation in southern regions of Ukraine. This variety ripens 5 days earlier than German varieties, allowing for earlier harvest and efficient use of agronomic periods. The plants are low-growing, which ensures high resistance to lodging and simplifies harvesting. Medium stem density and medium grain number per ear contribute to stable yield and product quality.
KWS Ultim variety is characterized by high resistance to major wheat diseases, including powdery mildew, rust, septoria, and fusarium of the ear, significantly reducing the risk of yield loss and the need for frequent protective treatments. High winter hardiness allows cultivation in various climatic conditions, including regions with harsh winters. Strong stems and high resistance to lodging make this variety a reliable choice for farmers seeking stable and high-quality yields.
The grain of KWS Ultim variety has high quality with protein content around 13-14%, making it especially valuable for the bakery industry. It is recommended to sow wheat during optimal periods — from September to October, with a seeding rate of 4-5 million viable seeds per hectare. To increase yield and grain quality in spring, nitrogen fertilizers should be applied. Regular monitoring of crops and timely application of fungicides and insecticides are key agronomic practices for disease and pest protection.
