KWS Skylor

Why KWS Skylor Sets the Standard in the Field

When working with winter rye, the biggest concern is lodging before harvest. With the KWS Skylor hybrid, this issue becomes a non-factor. The variety boasts exceptional resistance to lodging, which, for me as a farmer, means peace of mind during June rainstorms and the confidence that the combine harvester won't be struggling to pick up a flattened crop from the ground.

Protection That Saves Your Budget

Nobody likes to run the sprayer more than necessary, especially when the weather is unpredictable. In this regard, the hybrid is highly autonomous. Its resistance to brown rust, powdery mildew, and rhynchosporium is top-tier. I want to highlight its resistance to ergot, which is critical for market grain quality—it means less time spent on cleaning and a higher grade at the elevator.

Field Performance

• Sowing: Skylor tillers excellently, allowing for a slightly lower seeding rate without sacrificing plant density.
• Growth Cycle: It is a robust plant that overwinters well even through sharp temperature swings—a key survival metric in our climate.
• Harvesting: Due to its high lodging resistance, the combine speed can be increased, and grain losses are minimized. This translates directly to lower fuel consumption and saved time.

Working with this hybrid is comfortable because predictability is your greatest asset. KWS has once again proven the value of German breeding precision. For those looking for a stable, high-tech crop in their rotation, this option is among the most reliable and trouble-free choices available.
