Breeding Demonstration

Welcome to the KWS breeding demonstration which will take you through a short history of maize genetics.

Andrew from KWS follows maize breeding from the 1900s to the start of 1930s crosses, the 1970s/80s hybrid breeding right through to the modern F1 hybrids.

The video describes the base genetics involved in modern-day hybrid breeding for the UK, Scandinavia, and most of Northern Europe.
