Sunflower 135

American genetics for challenging fields: the potential of 135 hybrid

In modern agriculture, selecting a sunflower hybrid is often a trade-off between oil content and crop safety. The 135 hybrid from the American manufacturer Winfield Solutions is designed for growers who prioritize stability under high-pressure environments.

A phytosanitary shield for your fields

The key feature of the 135 model is its robust resistance to pathogens that frequently compromise yields. Genetic protection against Phomopsis and various types of rot helps maintain the photosynthetic surface of the leaves until harvest. Notably, its tolerance to charcoal rot — a major issue in arid regions where soil-borne infections can devastate yield potential — sets it apart from many competitors.

Technology and morphology

• Production System: The hybrid is optimized for use with imidazolinone herbicides (CLEARFIELD/EURO-LIGHTNING technology). This gives the farmer total control over the most stubborn weeds, including all known races of broomrape.
• Oil Content: High levels (50-55%) allow for premium pricing when selling the crop.
• Harvest efficiency: With a height of 130-140 cm, the plant is structurally ideal for combine harvesting, balancing sufficient vegetative mass for full head formation without excessive stalk material.

Who is this hybrid for?

The 135 model by Winfield Solutions is perfect for farms with intensive crop rotations where soil pathogen buildup is a persistent concern. If your management strategy focuses on minimizing disease-related risks while maximizing oil yield, this hybrid provides the stability required for a successful harvest. It compensates for agricultural challenges with its inherent "factory-grade" resistance, delivering predictable results where more sensitive hybrids often fail.
