K 651

German genetics for high yields

The KWS winter oilseed rape variety "K 651" is the result of years of breeding by experts at KWS SAAT SE & Co. KGaA. This simple hybrid was developed to meet the market's demand for high adaptability and stability in an era of volatile climates. It is designed for farmers who prioritize both total yield volume and the qualitative parameters of raw materials highly valued by the processing industry.

Grain quality profile

The key advantage of this hybrid lies in its chemical composition. A high oil content of 47–50% makes "K 651" a highly profitable tool for producers supplying oil extraction plants. Meanwhile, the erucic acid content remains low, adhering to strict European food and feed safety standards.

Field performance and reputation

As a simple winter hybrid, "K 651" exhibits excellent winter hardiness and vigorous growth during the autumn season. This is crucial for developing a robust root system capable of efficiently utilizing soil moisture and nutrients during the spring regrowth phase. In the agricultural sector, KWS is synonymous with reliability: the hybrid’s German origin suggests an intensive cultivation model, which, when managed according to best practices, allows the crop to fulfill its full genetic yield potential.
