RGT CLLERIO

Focus on Earliness and Stable Oil Content

The French sunflower hybrid RAGT RGT Kllerio is a solution for farms where harvest logistics and efficient daylight utilization are critical. With a vegetation period of 90–100 days, this hybrid allows farmers to plan sowing both in optimal timeframes and as a backup crop, while achieving oil content levels of 50–55%.

Field Application and Performance

The main value of RGT Kllerio lies in its predictability. In intensive farming systems, where the risk of fungal diseases increases due to tight crop rotations, this hybrid acts as a shield. It demonstrates high resistance to key pathogens:

• Comprehensive protection against Phomopsis, Phoma, and Downy Mildew reduces the need for frequent fungicide applications.
• Resistance to White and Grey rot prevents head decay during high-humidity ripening periods.
• Effective counteraction to Powdery Mildew preserves the leaf surface, which is vital for grain filling and the final oil percentage.

Agronomists select this hybrid for fields prone to lodging and stressful climatic conditions. Due to its French genetics, RGT Kllerio shows a vigorous start, which is essential for establishing a robust root system in moisture-limited regions.

Economic Impact

High seed oil content (up to 55%) provides a direct premium when delivering to processing plants. Given the rapid maturity cycle, the hybrid is optimal for farms practicing early harvesting to clear fields for winter crops without delay. RGT Kllerio delivers consistent performance across various soil types, serving as a reliable tool for risk mitigation and maintaining high-quality output.
