RAGT ANGELO

Stability and Oil Content: A Farmer’s Perspective

When planning a sunflower season, the main challenge is finding the sweet spot between early maturity and high oil output. The RAGT-bred RЖТ Анжелло (RAGT Angelo) has proven to be a reliable workhorse in our fields. Its 100-110 day vegetation period allows us to complete the harvest without the constant stress of waiting for unpredictable autumn rains, which is a major logistical advantage.

Field Performance and Herbicide Tolerance

The primary feature that stood out during the cultivation process is its compatibility with the Clearfield (EURO-LIGHTNING) technology. Dealing with weed pressure becomes much simpler, as the hybrid handles the herbicide treatment without showing signs of stress. Its structural stability is excellent: the plants are uniform, which makes the combine harvester operation efficient and reduces grain loss significantly.

Disease Resistance and Economic Impact

In an era where plant pathogens are becoming more aggressive, the built-in immunity of this RAGT hybrid is a major benefit. We haven't experienced issues with Phomopsis, Phoma, or downy mildew, even when neighbors struggled with their crops. This natural resistance to rot and rust translates into fewer fungicide passes, significantly lowering our input costs per ton.

• Oil Content: Consistently between 50-55%, which adds a nice premium during elevator delivery.
• Growth Type: Simple hybrid structure ensures even maturation across the entire field.
• Resilience: Excellent resistance to major sunflower diseases reduces the need for expensive chemical inputs.

In short: RЖТ Анжелло is an ideal choice for growers who prefer consistent performance and high-quality grain over high-risk experimental varieties.
