Global challenges!
17/07/2019Hybrid Rye pig feeding seminar | Thomas Blumtritt2
Population growth: Forecast demand for food up by 60%
Climate change - abiotic stress - new variety properties a must!
Yield loss – apprx. 50% from insect– herbicide- & storage
damage and fungal diseases
Limited resources – due to water, fertilizer and plant protection
Shrinking of per-capita acreage
▪ Produce more with less!
Ready to use: Hybrid Rye - a real-world game changer for North America!
17/07/2019Hybrid Rye pig feeding seminar | Thomas Blumtritt
▪ Productive - 25 to 45% advantage over other small grains!
▪ Efficient - grows with 20% less fresh water and nitrogen, less
crop protection than wheat!
▪ Robust - handles dry and tough winter conditions!
▪ Easy to grow - spreads workloads, adds options to spring
and winter crop rotations
▪ Safe - prevents soil erosion & leaching, smallest cereal
carbon footprint!
NA growers are seeding hybrid rye on their light and medium soils, and, moreover also onto their
most productive land!

1986 First hybrid rye introduced to Germany
1994 „We must invest heavily in reducing ergot susceptibility“
2005 1st registration of a PollenPlus variety
2007 The RYE BELT strategy:
▪ expanding global hybrid rye acreage
▪ increasing use of rye in animal feed
▪ enhancing breeding gain to improve competitiveness
▪ developing hybrids for cold winter regions
2013
2014/2016
1st KWS hybrid rye registration in Canada
1st hybrid rye sales in Canada (‘14) and the US (‘16)

Today 2/3 European hybrid rye goes to the feed industry,
… and there is still huge growth potential in European “Animal Feed” segment.
Why? - Rye is healthy for humans and animals!
