ALLAN

Practical insights on growing the "Allan" sunflower

For farm owners and operators, the primary goal is predictable harvesting and high oil yield. "Allan" sunflower is a reliable hybrid that simplifies logistics and machinery operations, allowing for a stress-free harvest season.

Agronomic performance and machine operation

From a technical standpoint, the "Allan" hybrid offers several advantages that make crop management more efficient:

• A plant height of 150-160 cm is ideal for combines, ensuring the header works through the crop smoothly without overloading the threshing system with excessive biomass.
• The medium-sized, flattened head ensures consistent drying and uniformity, which translates into lower harvest losses.
• The 100-110 day vegetation period allows for precise harvest scheduling, mitigating risks associated with late-season weather changes.

With an oil content of 45-50%, this hybrid ensures that your output meets market demands for high-quality raw materials. For those focused on margins, the combination of yield and oil percentage provides a solid return on investment.

Maintenance and field management

Managing "Allan" fields does not require complicated, non-standard agronomic practices. The crop is uniform in height and structure, which allows for setting the combine header once and running through the field without frequent adjustments. This ease of operation minimizes downtime, extends the service life of harvesting equipment, and reduces the cost per ton of production. It is a workhorse hybrid designed for those who value simple, stable, and predictable farming results.
