KWS Arnie
Group 2
KWS Arnie Is a New Group 2 milling wheat added to the 2025-26 recommended list with yields
in line with feed wheats at 106.1%. KWS Arnie is a quick developing variety similar to one of its
parents; KWS Extase but with shorter stiffer straw making it suitable for drilling over a wide
window. It has good all-round disease resistance with a strong score for both Yellow Rust and
Septoria at a (7). It is suited to a wide range of soil types and is consistent throughout the
regions performing exceptionally well in the west showing robustness in the Septoria
resistance. With yields in line with feed wheats and potential premiums available KWS Arnie
should be considered by any grower.
