F7 AX2 MJK

Focusing on early maturity and stable oil output

When selecting seeds for farms operating in areas prone to summer droughts, our primary focus is the vegetative period. The F 7 AX 2 MZHK sunflower hybrid from the French breeding company Soltis has been a genuine discovery for us. A maturation period of 90–100 days allows the crop to avoid the extreme heat of July and August, significantly reducing losses during seed filling.

Field performance

Throughout our experience with this hybrid, we have observed excellent germination energy. The crop emerges uniformly, providing a clear advantage in weed control during early stages—the sunflowers close their canopy faster, minimizing the need for additional herbicide applications. The stand is remarkably even, which simplifies harvesting operations: the combine operates smoothly without excessive load on the header.

• Oil content: A consistent 45–50%, which is crucial for pricing when delivering to the elevator.
• French genetics: Soltis has engineered a level of resilience that proves its worth even on challenging soil types.
• Logistics and harvest: Thanks to the compressed vegetation cycle, we manage to clear our fields and prepare the ground for winter crops within the optimal agrotechnical windows.

If you are looking for a tool for intensive farming with predictable outcomes, the F 7 AX 2 MZHK meets the farmer's needs by balancing yield and raw material quality. The absence of lodging issues and a straightforward growth cycle make this hybrid a reliable choice for those who prefer to avoid surprises at the end of the season.
