Drought tolerance
Stronger roots for less stress during dry spells
Hybrid rye thrives in
low rainfall areas, thanks to its dry
land origins. Thanks to its deep rooting, and smaller leaf surface area,
as a yield component. Rye requires around 100 L less water per kg of
grain, than wheat, for example. This means hybrid rye can withstand
longer dry spells without yield losses.

Sustainability
Rye plants are nutrient-efficient and have sustainable
properties
Hybrid rye has the lowest CO2 footprint of all cereals. It is
more resilient to diseases, stress and drought, which all mean less
agrochemicals and fertilizer use.

all cereals, rye boasts a high concentration of arabinoxylan, this
unique fibre promotes satiety, gut health and calm behaviour in pig
feeding. Rye also offers a higher lysine & phytase content.

Future
PollenPlus® improves pollen production in hybrid rye
Proven and
patented PollenPlus® technology from KWS
delivers high speed pollination at the critical flowering time in rye.
During flowering, open spikelets are the entry point for ergot spores.
Fast spikelet and glume closure due to rapid pollination is the key
mechanism for proven feed and food safety from ergot.
