SY Sanbala

Field performance of SI Sanbala

When selecting a hybrid for fields with high disease pressure, the Syngenta «SI Sanbala» is a reliable choice that simplifies farm management. With a growth cycle of 110–120 days, it is a mid-early hybrid that reliably forms a solid head even in tight sowing windows. The plants reach a height of 140–170 cm, which is optimal for standard combine harvesters, ensuring efficient harvesting with minimal header losses.

Technology and Protection

The key advantage of SI Sanbala is its compatibility with the Clearfield (Euro-Lightning) system. For the operator, this translates into clean fields without the headache of constant weed or broomrape issues. In wet seasons, when fungal risks are at their peak, this hybrid shows remarkable resistance to Sclerotinia, Phomopsis, and gray mold, which helps reduce the budget spent on additional fungicide treatments.

Harvest Quality

The end result is consistent: oil content ranges between 50–55%. The black seeds have a high test weight, which is noticeable during handling and transportation. Thanks to Syngenta’s Swiss breeding, the crop matures uniformly; the plants stand tall and even, making it easier to calibrate the harvester and maintain an optimal speed throughout the harvest season.
