A high-oil hybrid with managed herbicide control and powerful genetic immunity.
Description
Technological potential of the «Sword IR» hybrid
French breeding from Maisadour Semences focuses on intensive oil accumulation and crop management within the «Sword IR» hybrid. This simple sunflower hybrid is adapted for the Clearfield production system, providing agronomists with a powerful tool for weed control through its resistance to imidazolinone herbicides (Euro-Lightning).
Genetic immunity and phytosanitary protection
The model's critical advantage lies in its comprehensive resistance to key phytopathogens. The plant's engineering protects against the following threats:
- Sclerotinia: reduces the risk of lodging and head losses.
- Phomopsis: prevents premature stem desiccation.
- Powdery mildew: preserves the photosynthetic leaf surface until physiological maturity.
- Downy mildew (Peronospora): genetic resistance eliminates early seedling mortality.
A plant height of 170–180 cm combined with a moderate vegetation period (110–120 days) allows for optimal distribution of harvesting machinery workload. A stable seed oil content of 50–55% makes «Sword IR» a highly profitable solution for farms focused on producing quality raw materials with high market value.
