MAG 5315

A Reliable Choice for Intensive Farming

"MAG 5315" is a sunflower hybrid designed for agricultural producers who prioritize weed control and ease of management. Compatible with the "Clearfield" (Euro-Lightning) system, this hybrid allows for effective herbicide application to combat broomrape and challenging weeds without compromising plant development.

Pathogen Resistance and Field Health

The primary advantage of "MAG 5315" is its robust genetic immunity, which significantly reduces the reliance on fungicide sprayings. The hybrid is specifically bred to resist:

• Fungal complex: high resistance to Sclerotinia, Phomopsis, and Rust.
• Leaf health: excellent tolerance to Downy Mildew and Powdery Mildew, ensuring the plant maintains vitality throughout the 110–120 day vegetation period.

This mid-early maturity window provides flexibility for scheduling harvests, even in variable weather conditions. The crop develops a medium-sized, semi-convex head, which is highly suited for efficient harvesting with minimal losses.

Agronomic Profile

Bred by Galina Alexandrovna Makarenko, this hybrid focuses on high oil content (ranging from 45% to 55%) and yield stability. The seeds are characterized by a black, narrow-egg shape and small size, which works well with precision seed drills for optimal stand establishment.

"MAG 5315" is an excellent fit for farms seeking a balanced hybrid that integrates chemical weed control with strong internal defenses against common regional pathogens. It delivers consistent performance and predictable quality, making it a dependable component of any rotation program.
