TFI 2938 A

Technological Potential of the TFI 2938 A Hybrid

The French breeding program of Mas Seeds in the TFI 2938 A model focuses on balancing intensive growth with stress tolerance. This hybrid belongs to the mid-ripening group with a vegetation period of 120–130 days, allowing for optimal use of soil moisture resources across various climatic zones.

Phytosanitary Protection and Resilience

A key feature of this sunflower is its high genetic resistance to various rot pathogens. Both white and grey mold can destroy up to 30% of the yield during outbreaks; however, targeted breeding for this hybrid has minimized the risks of head and stalk infection. For agronomists, this translates into reduced fungicide costs without sacrificing seed quality.

Cultivation Technology Highlights

• Herbicide Tolerance: The use of the Clearfield (Euro-Lightning) system allows for the control of a wide range of weeds and broomrape directly during the vegetation period. This enables the cleaning of fields from competing vegetation that drains nutrients and moisture during early development stages.
• Oil Content: High oil content levels (50–55%) position this hybrid in the premium segment for processing facilities.
• Morphology: An average plant height of 170–180 cm ensures harvest efficiency, reducing grain loss during combine operations and facilitating machinery passage.

TFI 2938 A serves as a practical tool for farmers seeking stable performance under conditions of limited field operation windows and the necessity for effective weed control.
